Send email using Block Until Done

BonusCup
11 - Bolide

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.

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.

@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!
