Can someone describe a situation where you would use a 'Wait' Step in a Bot?

1. I’m pretty new to Appsheet, the wait feature was already available when I built the bot. It seemed simpler to have one bot that did everything.

2. Thanks! Like I said, it was @Rifad who pointed me to it. It’s been tremendously useful. We can broadcast out SMS alerts to our members, and can schedule send it to be sent for the future. Thanks @Rifad !

In general, I got some pretty good answers on this thread. I’m glad I posted it.

I’m also glad you did Thank you!

the app expects information from an external service

I’ve been working on an app feature that depends on the app detecting when information has been received from an external service. I know there are (and I have used) other techniques, but it occurred to me to experiment with Wait on a condition. When I was unsuccessful, I came across this comment.

Did @WillowMobileSys or @Marc_Dillon end up finding a way to use Wait on a condition in this scenario?

In my testing, Wait on a condition does not detect a data change made directly in the spreadsheet data source–even when the worksheet has AppSheet external eventing enabled. For example, I created an automation triggered by a row add, included a Wait condition of ISNOTBLANK([Column]), and then manually populated that column in the worksheet. The automation always routes through the Wait step’s timeout branch.

I’m sorry. I have no helpful information to add.
