Hello Gliders! Thanks for taking the time to read this. I have some workflows triggering other workflows (so workflow #1 is done, triggers workflow #2 using a manual trigger). Example: Workflow #1 creates a couple rows in a Helper table Workflow #2 is supposed to take those rows and create a Goo…

[image] Add Wait function/step feature to non-user-interaction workflows Can I assume that your Helper table is a regular Glide Table? If it is, try switching it for a Glide Big table. You might find that resolves the issue. For anyone trying this as well: this appears to be the solution… Sho…

If your first workflow is an App Interaction one, you could add a wait for condition to wait for the creation of these new rows right before you trigger your second workflow. You’d need to store the new row IDs somewhere (selected at the bottom of the add row action), and then wait for those fields…

Thanks a lot for taking the time to reply. I’m indeed aware of that feature, but unfortunately, it’s not a workflow triggered by a user interaction.. :upside_down_face:

Ah, yes, if you are using a server side workflow, that doesn’t help much. In that case, you could use a third party like Make or Zapier to interject a wait. For example, your first workflow could use a webhook to trigger a Zapier zap/workflow that includes a delay action. After the delay action r…

[image] jb_1mprove: Thanks! If no other options are available, I will try that, but it feels very odd to create such a workaround for probably only 1s of delay (needed). Would have to agree with it, I face this just last week, though I need it to wait at the start of the manual workflow, so I…

Thanks! As it seems, the zapier/make workaround seems to be the only solution for now. Major disadvantage from my perspective right now would be that the delay will be significant then, while I probably only need 1s. I’m also in touch with the support team, will update here if there’s a solution. I…

[image] jb_1mprove: In the meantime: maybe we can make it a feature request? Seems simple enough, since it already exists in the user-interaction workflow… Yeah you can do that, I don’t know how much it would be a problem for these workflows as they’re running server-side, not on device like …

@ThinhDinh @NFNHello As a workaround I added a dummy Query step in the workflow, which takes up to 3s. Not using any of the Queried data, but I’m hoping that might resolve the issue. Will update here if it seems to be the solution! [image]
