Videos attached for better explination. Curious about how & why typebot works certain ways & if some improvements can be made.
I have learned that if there is number of things to be done in the background, typebot does it all, THEN prints to the screen all at once and AFTER it finishes the processing on the back end along with displaying the request for user input.
This is annoying because I sometimes I want to give the user a headsup such as "Ok, now processing your entry, this may take a mintue so please be patient" - but I'll put that in BEFORE a long flow of tasks to do. It process and hang only to send that message to the user seconds or a minute later and right before it asks the user for input.
Could there be a way to SIMULATE a user input- even if it doesn't do anything?
Flow could process in segments a message to user such as:
"Image sucessfully updated"
"Image processsing"
"Creating Image choices"
These breaks could also give a change for evaluations and giving the customer notification if something failed.
I made two videos, and the second one it DOES send info to the user.
I am attaching 2 videos that show both things happening. One, the data is all processed and logged but it takes a minute or two to print text to the screen for each loop (testing text) but I am curious as to why, if the processing is done in the log, does the output text take so long to output to the user instead of just quickly as the result is already processed...What is the differnce? Sheet blocks? The video will make this make sense.
So along with this, I am wondering if it would be possible to put in markers/simulated user input, if we could somehow use typebot as a nocode automator.... I am going to make feature requests...
Video one - log is done but screen output takes FOREVER
