Hi, I’m experimenting with having a flow interrupted and paused. To do this successfully, I need to pause a timer.
In the attached flow, you can see I have a main flow and I want to be able to send a notification to pause an instance. The instance can then be cancelled, or resumed.
A good real world example is a parking PCN. You are issued a PCN and the clock starts. If you pay within 14 days the you pay a 50% fee. If you make an appeal within that time frame your 50% is held until after the appeal has been settled. And so the timer is paused, whilst a decision is pending.
So far, I have tried experimenting with passing a time variable for completion of Thing1 as it heads into the timer, and passing the time value for when the pause message is sent. However, I can’t exactly control the loop in the timer, that I’m aware of… otherwise I would if paused stop counting, and when it’s re-set to true, carry on…
Any help or thoughts on how to do this would be excellent.
