Prefect Community

<@ULVA73B9P> I am trying to create a Human in the loop system using the wait for user input, how can i reject it based on timeout like if the user doesn't respond within 48 hours I want to cancel the flow

you probably want a automation that changes the state of the flow if you find one sitting and waiting for too long

also, <@U02GMEZU18B> one more question is there a way I cancel a flow using a API suppose I want to create the reject button in the HITL system

you could just click cancel in the UI instead of resume right?

yes something similar, I have a slack app that send a message to the approvers when my prefect flow pauses, I can resume, but I can't cancel, yes but the approvers but have prefect UI access in this case

But thank you very much, I will try to make some work around :)

i mean so you can build an arbitrary `BaseModel` subclass as the result that must be provided when resuming, you can have a bool field on that class that represents whether you should continue or not, and then if its false the flow can end itself in `Cancelled`

so it seems like a stakeholder preference question

sounds interesting I will try this out, thank you!
