Wait for email without keeping Bot Idle

Help
1

Hi Experts ,

I have the below process to automate:

  1. Read Data from DB
  2. Draft Email
  3. Send Email for Approval
    4.Post Approval , Update the DB Back.

I have implemented the same in 2 Parts

Part 1: Read Data and Send mail for approval.

Part 2 : Read Email and Update DB Back.

Issue:
The Approver sometimes takes more than an hour or two to respond the mail. By the time my bot is idle and keeps looking for email in outlook.

Is there any mechanism , where I can trigger the Part 2 of my Process only when the email is received and meanwhile utilise the bot for some other process .

Thanks
Mukesh

Hi @mukeshkala,
You can just schedule your bot in Orchestrator to run the task once per hour or two.
