Create a job to run after ten minutes of creation
Now i created a flow and when I trigger it via webhook, it immediately gets added in queue and runs when it is at head of queue.
I want to do something like trigger flow webhook so that job is created but it should start running after 10 minutes or similar something
Reason - I want to trigger an event but data would be updated within 10 mins which this job will utilise

@rubenf please help if there is a way for this

Create a dummy step that waits 10 min as the first step.
Nice, windmill is cool ! is applicable to variety of usecases
the one software TO RULE THEM ALL
and in open-source BIND THEM
this was auto-created , no issues right ?
also a silly question but just for confirming, sleep does not fill queue till it completes, right ? I mean other jobs can continue to run while a flow job is sleeping
sleep does not fill queue till it completesCorrect
I mean other jobs can continue to run while a flow job is sleepingYes
this was auto-created , no issues right ?Not sure what you ref to here. I do not understand the question
Not sure what you ref to here. I do not understand the questioni created an empty step, gave it sleep of 10 mins, when i save and deploy the flow, above step (image) get added automatically after sleep step
No step should be added automatically. I think you may have missed clicked. Just Remove it.
I removed it , then again when i saved and deploy, it got added again
i will try to send a video
Some steps get added automatically, for instance when sleep is the last step
Because you cannot transition sleep to no step
yes sleep was last step, makes sense now
but then your are not waiting 10 min before you execute your job? you are only waiting 10 min before you return the result of your job. Is that what you want?
no actually i will add another step after sleep which will do the after-10-min logic
but meanwhile i was just testing sleep, so got this extra step added, so had a doubt
Now when i will add after-10-min step, i am hoping the auto-added step will not be added anymore
I had created a flow for this in this way :
step1 - do nothing , sleep after completion for 1 hour
step2 - does a logic
error handler script
step2 has now encountered an error runtime , so now error handler script is scheduled for 1 hour later (1 hour after error happened)
i am not understanding if step 2 script gave error, why error handler is scheduled for later ?
@rubenf pls help if possible
It shouldn't, can you share your flow.json please
here is image of it
how to obtain flow.json ?
it's in the top bar
JSON
or in the vertical "..." menu
here it is
Thanks, I will take a look asap, likely next week
