I set up the timeout as it is mention here: [https://devcenter.bitrise.io/bitrise-cli/step-timeout/](https://devcenter.bitrise.io/bitrise-cli/step-timeout/)  
And in the logs I got successfully `ERRO[18:59:13] Step (Run local my-step) failed: timed out`

I have an outgoing Webhook for all the events, and when the timeout happens Bitrise sends:  
` **Bitrise-Event-Type:** build/finished`  
and in the payload:  
`"build_status": 2`  
As you can see this just says that the build fails  
and when I request the build on `https://api.bitrise.io/v0.1/apps/${appSlug}/builds/${buildSlug}`  
It does not give me the reason that the build fails due to timeout.

The next step is also a bash script which POST several parameters to my server, I don’t know if in this step I can set a parameter that the build fails due to timeout since I don’t know how to catch this reason on the previous step, another idea could be triggering a different event from Bitrise.  
What do you think? Thanks in advance

Hello,

Did you build fail due to a timeout, or was it just the step that failed due to the timeout?
