Hi Everyone, I am developing my first "backend" suitelet and had a conceptual question. I am sending an https.post request in the afterSubmit entry point of a User Event Script. The https.post sends a handful of body parameters from a custom record and the suitelet creates an Estimate. My question is why does the user have to wait until the suitelet completes? Is there a way to make this more asynchronous or completely offload the processing from the user's perspective? Would a RESTlet work better or am I stuck with Task/Scheduled/MR script? Appreciate any guidance.

I believe you can send response to UE and process in back end rest of the process

user event to suitelet tends to fail at the authentication stage

MR works better compare to https request and response

ok thanks. Yes, I did have to set the suitelet to externally available, which does scare me a bit.

You can certainly trigger a scheduled/MR and the UE will not have to wait for that to finish. Depending on the traffic/other jobs running though, it might not actually happen immediately.

I have a few instances where I send a task to a scheduled script. Won't clog up the main thread, and has a high governance, but as Sandii said, i usually notice a minute or two delay before the schedule script initiates.

very good to know. Thanks all.
