Send email using Block Until Done

I have a workflow that sends an email to ServiceNow to create tickets. I have another workflow that runs after that one to pull the ticket numbers used for reporting. I thought I could combine the 2 workflows using a Block Until Done and then Wait a Second set for 120 seconds but the issue I'm having is that even with the Email tool set to #1 it still wants to wait until the Wait A Second gets finished. I was under the assumption that #1 would finish completely before moving on to #2 and #3.

@BonusCup No problem! If you're using them locally you might use a version of the CReW runner macro's (not sure which one). If you're planning on putting the workflows on the gallery you can just transform them in a analytical apps and chain them:

Good luck!

This is your problem, it will always put the e-mail tool as the last tool in the flow... 😞

@Sebastiaandb well that's no good then. Looks like I'll go back to running it as a 2nd workflow. Thanks for the screenshot.
