Let a process wait for the right person without losing its place or its safeguards.

Illustrative idea, not a published runnable template. Grunt is prelaunch; live service is paused and live provider connections and outcomes remain unverified. The steps, providers, and outcomes below describe a concept.

For a multi-step process that may wait hours or days for an external reply or approval, keep a minimal record of the pending request and continue only when a matching authorized response arrives. Protect identifiers and private request details, expire stale requests, prevent replay or duplicate responses, and verify the exact action with a person before making consequential changes.

Actual availability depends on published steps, supported connections, permissions, and provider approval.

Illustrative workflow and outcome
A request reaches a step that needs a later responseAn approved process, a unique request reference, and a named response or approval owner
“Resume a delayed process safely when the expected person responds, without acting on a stale or mismatched request.”
Work through the request.

Clear tasks, with review where it matters.

  1. Register the request and its owner
  2. Set an appropriate waiting period
  3. Verify an incoming response

What this workflow could do

Helps teams manage business processes that pause while waiting for a response or approval.

Review points proposed in this idea

A late, repeated, or misdirected response can resume the wrong request. Use hard-to-guess references, verify the responder and request state, expire unused requests, keep stored details minimal, and require explicit approval before consequential actions.

Proposed setup considerations

These are planning notes for the concept, not instructions for a currently available template.

  1. 01

    Define request identity and response owners

    Use unique references and list who can answer or approve each type of request.

  2. 02

    Protect stored state and response links

    Limit access, avoid sensitive values in shared references, and set retention periods.

  3. 03

    Set expiry, retry, and duplicate handling

    Specify what happens when a response is late, repeated, or cannot be verified.

  4. 04

    Require approval for consequential changes

    Keep financial, account, and customer-impacting actions subject to explicit review.

Read the prelaunch status

Published templates and verified customer availability remain pending.
