Hi, I had a question related to automations. I have a use case wherein if a flow run stays in a

pending

state for >5 min, I need to 1. send a slack notification 2. cancel the flow run 3. Create a new deployment for the same flow with the same paylaod I could get the first 2 steps working fine, but I’m stuck on the third step. If I add an action that says

Run a deployment

and set it to

Infer Deployment

, I don’t see a way for me to specify for it to use the same payload that was passed into the flow run that was just cancelled. Can someone please guide me on how to go about this. Thanks

Hey Karthik! To make sure I understand — automations or not — you’re looking for “if this thing takes too long in pending, let me know and rerun it?

Correct

Thanks for reaching out, Karthik! I think there may be a gap here because when we're executing a

RunDeployment

action, we don't (currently) have access to the parameters from the prior flow run. Let me look into another avenue with the

AwaitingRetry

state to see if it would work for you, that may be a good alternative.

@Chris Guidry this seems to be working for my use case, thank you so much

Great to hear, Karthik! Let us know if you hit any snags
