Delay Custom Action

Hey @Bram,

There are no built-in delays for action sequence, unfortunately. Moreover custom action execution is stopped automatically if not finished within some time (as I remember 30 seconds timeout).

If you don’t want to use any 3rd party tools - I can think of using a screen series with timer/lottifiles. Something like:

  • 1st screen with 1st custom action, get a ID, link to next screen
  • 2nd screen with a timer/lottiefile which finishes in 15 seconds. On timer finish, you run another custom action using ID, get the result and store it where needed. Then you link to the 3rd “success” screen.

But I’d rather use 3rd party platforms for such type of requests - they will be more stable. You can’t be sure that the image is ready in 10 secs, it could be more sometimes. In Make it is even possible to make a custom app which will poll the server repeatedly till it gets the reply (I did it a few times with services like you describe - when replies are delayed).

Hope this helps.

Best,
Victor.
