Can REST outbound call response holds for sometime?

[Manikantahere]

if I am triggering outbound call to third-party usually we will get response immediately if it is there but if the third-party can able to send response back after an hour/day/days can we able to use it under same outbound call??

Basically I am doing this outbound call from flow designer action so if I want to trigger outbound call is this possible? can this request will wait for specific response until 1 or 2 days?

I am not aware of how to do rest async call and use response which comes after some time? can you give me some more idea ?

Hello @Manikantahere ,

Why not call the API and store the request in a table with a status of "Pending," for example? This approach will save your wait time and improve performance, as the flow won't be blocked waiting for the response. Then, you can create a second API that the third-party can use to call back with the response for your request, allowing for more efficient processing.

I am having difficulty in understanding, can you kindly elaborate it with an example.
