Slack Wait Send and wait for approval options

Questions

Hi, I tried to build this workflow. I want the Slack node “Send and Wait” to allow up to 10 minutes for the user to respond to the approval request. If the user doesn’t respond within that time, the flow should automatically proceed to create a channel with another user to handle the inquiry.

I’m not sure how to implement this waiting mechanism alongside the approval step. Could you help me figure it out?

Hi @Karla_Duran

Thanks for posting here and welcome to the community! :tada:

This is actually something we’re working on for the next iteration (hopefully Q1) - the option to add a time-out for the wait.

So, please stay tuned :slight_smile:

Thank you, @ria. I also need this option (TimeOut) on the node for Slack Send and Wait for Approval
