Wait point

This topic provides examples of using Wait points.

A Wait point is needed when you require two or more nodes to complete before continuing to the next step in the playbook. A simple use case is when the playbook calls for two or more tasks to be completed by users before ending a playbook. Most likely, these user tasks are not completed at the same time.

Another use case is that you require both the results of a script and an app's function before you can process the results and make a decision about the next step. Here, you would connect the outputs of the function and the script to the inputs of a Wait point.

In the following graphic, a Wait point is used to make sure that users complete the two tasks before assigning the task of notifying legal counsel. Here, the users who are assigned the tasks could be in different time zones so that the tasks would not be completed at the same time.
