I created an advanced flow that connects (get request) to an external API (Cemm/Cedel) to collect my solar production. If solar production exceeds target value, I start charging my EV.
Flow works flawless. However, quite often the external API returns not a response, but a promise… If that happens, the flow generates an error… Is there an advanced flow workaround that anybody knows of?
What’s a “promise response”?
A ‘promise reponse’ is not the data you need, but the word 'promise’with an extra code… Server sends it because it is busy…
{“promise”:“45b82393b6ac89f54bb3c8d0bdf6ec2159081715”}
you are then supposed to reissue your get request within 10 seconds once more where you add the promise code to the get url (in this case &promise=45b82393b6ac89f54bb3c8d0bdf6ec2159081715.
If all goes well, the server returns the the data you need and no further promise…
