Question

How should I chain a process to wait for api response and display the response

I have a record action, once I perform the record action, it'll trigger a process, there is an api call in this process, I want to display the api response right after the action completed.

Currently I'll need to refresh after the action complete, I tried to chain the process but not working. I'm not sure if it is because the it takes too long for api to respond

    Hi [mention:2aea1bf0b6954f94815518e79da990c7:e9ed411860ed4f2ba0265705b8793d05], how long is the API taking to give the response?

    if its taking too long, go through this recipe Refresh Until Asynchronous Action Completes - Appian 24.2. This might help

    There are certain limits on chaining.

    I suggest to measure the typical API response times.
