Waitpoint tokens allow you to create long-running workflows that can pause and resume based on external triggers. This is perfect for:

  • Human-in-the-loop approval workflows: Wait for manual approval before proceeding
  • External service callbacks: Pause until a third-party service completes processing
  • User interactions: Wait for user input or decisions
  • Conditional logic: Pause until specific conditions are met
