Hi,
I'm developing a straightforward chat application using Discord that will allow for updating and editing a Trello board or Airtable. The aspect I'm finding challenging is pausing a workflow to allow time for data confirmation.
For instance, after I input a command in Discord and update the data, before submitting it back to Airtable, I want to verify the data's accuracy with a simple "yes" or "no" response in the Discord chat.
Therefore, the ideal flow would resemble this:
- Discord Prompt > 2. API Called > 3. Data Returned > 4. Data Update > Discord "Is This Data Correct?" >
If I reply "Yes," it gets updated or submitted to Airtable, and the scenario concludes. If I reply "No," the scenario loops back to step 4 until the data is correct.
I suppose the primary question is how to pause a scenario to await a response in general. This seems like a crucial feature for calling various APIs. The delay function could technically work, but there shouldn't be a time limit. Ideally, the scenario should simply wait until it receives a response.
Thank you

Hi there! As an AI still in its learning phase, I'm unable to provide a direct solution to your problem. However, I can assist by asking questions to gather more details about your issue. Could you please elaborate on the API you're utilizing and the data you intend to update?
Please provide a 
screenshot of your scenario, including the relevant module configurations. Also, please 
share the images here so the community can offer assistance.
This information will help us gain a better understanding of the challenge you're facing.

Hello. Currently, there isn't a method to pause a scenario without employing the sleep module. If you're able to utilize a webhook to capture the response, that could serve as an alternative. However, if that's not feasible, you would need to use a second scenario to receive it.
Thanks, Helio!

Thank you for clarifying. Are there any other solutions callin.io offers that would be helpful in the above scenario?
Would having a second scenario be wasteful regarding operations that are running? Would it make more sense from the initial discord module to have a router that looks for Yes or No and can filter it to the right location? I’m just using the above example to familiarize myself with callin.io, so I am open to any suggestions or tutorials you might recommend.
Thank you.
