Trigger an escalation if 24 hours later the task has not been acceptedhttps://community.appian.com/discussions/f/process/18882/trigger-an-escalation-if-24-hours-later-the-task-has-not-been-acceptedI have a requirement where we need to trigger an escalation only if 24 hours later the task has not been accepted by a user. Is this possible to implement in an escalation node or is the only way to build a process that is ready the active tasks everyen-USTelligent Community 12RE: Trigger an escalation if 24 hours later the task has not been acceptedhttps://community.appian.com/thread/74237?ContentTypeID=1Wed, 20 May 2020 20:25:53 GMTd3a83456-d57b-489c-a84c-4e8267bb592a:82a80f86-2c25-4956-83e3-9ee3d1b3e861erickp0001<p>Hi Robert, are you recommending something as shown below:</p> <p></p> <p><img src="/resized-image/__size/320x240/__key/communityserver-discussions-components-files/14/pastedimage1590007831234v1.png" alt=" " /></p><div style="clear:both;"></div>RE: Trigger an escalation if 24 hours later the task has not been acceptedhttps://community.appian.com/thread/74209?ContentTypeID=1Tue, 19 May 2020 20:17:50 GMTd3a83456-d57b-489c-a84c-4e8267bb592a:f17bf7e2-44dc-406b-86e6-55d5402366aeRobert Shankin<p>So here's one way to handle it:</p> <ol> <li>put the user input task in a sub process.</li> <li>in that sub process, from the start event, there are 2 out flows: <ol> <li>One flow to the user task <ol> <li>if the task is accepted, wonderful - flow out and terminate this sub process</li> </ol> </li> <li>Another flow to a timer set to 24 hours.   <ol> <li>If this process is alive for more than 24 hours flow from the timer through a script task that sets and escalation flag, flow to the end task and terminate the process<br /> <ol> <li>now that you have your escalation flag set, you can trigger a new task to an escalated assignee.</li> </ol> </li> </ol> </li> </ol> </li> </ol><div style="clear:both;"></div>
