Hi,  
I am trying to build a workflow where the following scenario is a part of it.  
There is an action which is an action which is performed by the user ( for example - registration form submission ), once the form is submitted by the user, I need to send an email notification to the user if he has not paid the registration fee within 10 minutes of form submission.

Registration form submission is a node  
Fee payment is a node

The issue I am facing right now is that I am unable to run both email notification wait node and fee payment wait node at the same time.  
Is there a way where I can run both email notification checker wait node and fee payment wait node at the same time instead of the nodes waiting one after the other ?

Thank you for taking the time to read through this.

That is not possible in the same workflow.  
If that is what you require you would have to split the workflows apart.

- one start workflow which contains two HTTP Request nodes
- two workflows which do what you want, each of them containing a Webhook-Node which returns immediately

@jan,  
If i create separate workflows, 1 containing just the email notification checker wait node, another workflow containing the wait node for fee payment and the start workflow containing register form submission + trigger for 2nd workflow + trigger for 3rd workflow, wouldn’t the wait node for fee payment be hit only after the duration I set for the wait node in the email notification checker workflow is complete ?  
I want to set the wait node to execute after a certain duration, say 30 minutes, but the user should still be able to hit the wait node for the fee payment, and when fee payment is done, I will have a logic in the 30 minute wait node to just not send a email since he has already paid.
