We need a wait condition, loop or both for workflow automation. 

 

Use case:

Creating a user for on prem AD then syncs to Azure on a 30 min schedule.  Once the users is in Azure we need to assign a license to the user. Both tasks can be done with current workflow automation with manual intervention.

The wait or loop cannot be achieved. and the license is triggers with an supervisor automation that kicks off another workflow automation.

 

We need a wait condition in the workflow automation that can be used to PAUSE the automation for a given period of time, then we could check for the user in azure, if its their continue the workflow, if not loop back to the wait condition.

There is no wait condition? That can’t be right - what automation framework doesn’t have that?

There are wait conditions in Supervisor rules which run every 60 min (IIRC).  You can set an entry to take an action X hours after status = Email sent (or whatever). 

Supervisor rules aren’t as flexible or complex as Workflow Automations ofc but you could use the Supervisor as the wait condition and then when time’s up they set a value that a workflow is waiting for (field = start workflow xyz).

I think the timer app will be available this month. I think we can close this idea.

The timer app is one way of handling this. I am not sure if that is the solution for this or if they have something else planned.

 I see this as implemented, I'm assuming this is the Timer node in workflow automatons, Did the “Loop back to Wait Condition” get implemented too?
