Writeup

How Wait works

Pause the execution — for a duration or until a resume webhook fires. You need time or a human signal before the next side effect. resume: webhook is the approval pattern.

Step by step — how to wire it

  1. 01

    Ask first

    Webhook → Slack “Approve?” so a human sees the request.

  2. 02

    Add Wait

    Slack → Wait → Resume On Webhook.

  3. 03

    Continue after resume

    Wait → HTTP Request / CRM action that should only run when approved.

  4. 04

    Put resume in Slack

    Include the Wait resume URL (or button) in the Slack text so approvers don’t dig Executions.

How it functions
