Wait command in API checks for async requests
Our API has an endpoint that will send a request, respond with a ‘statusUrl’ which you can then poll for. It helps users which don’t want to implement webhooks or use synchronous requests.
We’d like to have a check for this, but need to wait a few seconds before making that request to ensure that the server has had time to process it.
Would you be able to implement a wait command within the uptime check steps so we can achieve this ?
Appreciate this feature might be subject to abuse from users but it would be super helpful for our use case !
If there’s something alternative we could use, we would appreciate your support :)
Thank you!

Hi @Arnold Arnold I spoke with our dev and this should be possible to do. The tricky part is that we need to ensure safety and security, to your point, to not cause issues on our side or allow abuse. We are thinking about the approach to simply add ability to add some wait step. It would be configurable say, in seconds that you can specify. Something like screenshot below (but would be configurable).
Thoughts?
