how do i verify that an outbound integretion has finished to start another

Question

i'm working on a integration with quickbooks online and i'm working on a process that requieres me to work on some objects. one after another and sometimes it does work but some other it doesn't and throw me this error 
 " You and vladimir were working on this at the same time. vladimir finished before you did, so your work was not saved." 
 is there a way to make to sure that that process was completed before starting another ?

Hi felixr 
 Is the integration you want to put a lock on or the complete process itself? By lock I mean only one user can access it at a time. 
 If it is the process there are multiple ways you can do it, one of which is marking the status of the process to active and storing that either in database or in cache using ( Text cache Plugin ), at the start of the process you set it to 'active' and once the process is complete at the end you can set it to 'inactive'. 
 At the very start, you can check the status of the process by fetching the status if it is 'inactive' proceed further, else you can provide user with a friendly interface giving information about the active process and who is using it, and skipping the complete flow. 
 Hope this helps
