Automation trigger response

[blaise]

I would like to send a specific response to the service that calls the Automation (start block set to triggered). I saw some mention on this on BlendR help site where you should be able to add an output block after the start block but Im unable to get it to work.

My use-case is that i would like to inform the service calling the automation about some other things and not just that the automation is placed in queue.

Hi Blaise,

You can indeed achieve this with a triggered automation.
In the Start block, set Run asynchronously to "No" and add an Output block add the end of the automation. The output of the Output block will be sent as the response to the request that triggers the automation.

Keep in mind to only use this for short running automations, after 60 seconds the request will time out.

Kind regards,
Emile
