Hello Team,

Can we add wait activity in recipe function? Actually, I have a requirement to extract accounts from salesforce using bulk API v2. I have triggered the bulk API v2 and once it completes, I have to download the results and write to SFTP.

Here, I am using a for loop to check for the status of bulk data job and wait for sometime until it gets completed.

Thanks & Regards,

Sudheer

Hi Sudheer,

If you have wait and bulk/batch actions on your recipe, you need to make sure that the recipe is running (STARTED) so the actions will be executed properly.

Wait and bulk/batch actions are considered long actions. Long actions require dedicated Workers to periodically check if the action is complete. This is not available in TEST mode.

For more info, you can check our documentation here.

Thank you!

Thanks for your reply!

I already went through this. The actual problem that I am facing is, when I trigger the recipe function, it is stopping at the wait and isn't moving forward even after the defined wait is over. It is in halted state until I cancel the job manually.

Have you encountered similar issue earlier?

Thanks & Regards,

Sudheer

Sudheer, can you post screenshot please?
Can you also make sure that wait time is correct?

I am facing the same issue. I did use the Scheduler Action and added a wait time of around 60 seconds.

The job seemed to be stuck after the first loop.

I waited for an hour, kept it at the backend; When I checked again it was still running and stuck at that step.

I had to cancel it in the end.
