How to set Time for if we call third party API response?

Hi Surendra,

Could you please elaborate your scenario bit further? Are you trying to implement system has to wait for some time when you made a request to third party web API from Appian?

Yes Shanmukha

Hi Surendra,

If you are send request to third party API then the API will return the response after it finish it processing . In my view you can not put waiting time between because.

you can do one, thing you can put Timer Event after getting response back from the API , i don't know weather you really need this.

Where are you trying to have the timer called? Before the API? During? After?

Hi Abhai,

Thanks for your response , suppose third party API will give response after 1 hour , its not got to wait processor till that time.

Hi Surendra,
If that is the case, Can you make it asynchronous calls. For instance there is a web api which is returning huge results then it has to wait for some time. So in this case in the first call when you request for results it will just return you the transaction code and in the subsequent request you can send the transaction code to another web api that will return the results. it will be helpfull when you have your process model running in asynchronous way. we have already implemented such scenario in the SOAP web service with Appian calls.

Hi Surendra,
Agree with Shanmukha. You can simply put the Web API call in the a process and call this as a subprocess in main process. In the configuration, make this call as Asynchronous so that you main process will not wait for Web API to complete the call and it will continue to execute the flow in parallel.
Hope this helps!!
