Pause the workflow and wait until record updated

I have a long workflow. It allows to create from Airtable different text fields a podcast published on SoundCloud using AI generated content. It works really well but I would like to pause the workflow once the text is generated by AI and ready to create the podcast and publish it. The idea would be to allow me to review the content generated and to edit it eventually then inform the system that it’s a go to continue the workflow. I can see how I can do this by creating two scenarios but I am wondering if it would be possible to do this in one workflow.

Hey @Pascal,

I honestly think your idea is the best way to approach this need for human-in-the-loop.
Split up your scenario such that the first stops at generating the text.

Have a second scenario that proceeds with creating and publishing via some trigger from Airtable, assuming that the text is approved.

I have created two automations in Airtable to start a script with the same webhook. In Make, the webhook activates the Airtable module ‘Get Record’, and from there, it can follow two paths:

  • Path 1: creating the AI-generated content.
  • Path 2: creating and uploading the podcast.
    To activate Path 2, I need to validate the AI-generated content in Airtable, and it automatically activates the podcast creation. This way, I don’t need to create two scenarios; one is enough.
