Can't get wait Bot to work -> Stuck in Pending

[PhilippSeidel]

Hi guys,

i need to create a Bot with a wait process step, but i can't get it to work.
The Bot stays in PENDING forever.

Here is what i did:

table tasks has a column called "duration" with for example "00:06:00" (6 Minutes) in it.

My Bot is configured like this:

When this EVENT occurs: 

• Data Updates in "tasks"
• Condition:  AND([status] = "erledigt",ISNOTBLANK([Ofen Zyklus]))
• Bypass Security Filters?: true

Steps:

• WAIT
• Wait for: a period of time
• Period: [_THISROW].[duration]

The Event fires, correctly but it stays on PENDING forever:

When using duration, you need to write it like "000:06:00". The first zero is missing. Though there are issues with the Wait functionality like you can't count that is sent after 6 minutes. The duration can sometimes be much much longer.

Hi Aleksi,

i already tried it with "000:06:00". Same result. 

I continued with "00:06:00" because when i am using "duration" as a type in a Sheet and i edit or create new "duration" entrys appsheets create its with only 2 zeroes. Even when forcing the inital value to be "000:00:00" Appsheets creates "00:00:00" out of it.

This is on top very confusing!

Durations created with Appsheet are saved like this:

Anyways, i tested both ("000:06:00" and "00:06:00") and it will stay on PENDING forever.

6 Minutes is just a test for me, to test the bot. In the real function it should wait 2 to 4 hours max

I am also getting this error. I have "000:05:00" to delay my sequence flow by 5 minutes before moving on to the next step and it is stuck in pending forever as well. Please let me know if you have found a solution to get around this.
