inngest-steps

Durable workflows that survive process restarts and crashes are built using Inngest step methods. This approach manages state automatically, ensuring delayed actions, external event handling, and function calls resume reliably without losing progress.

Waiting for human approval within an automated workflow is handled using Inngest step methods. The workflow pauses indefinitely for the external approval event, incorporates timeouts, and automatically resumes execution once the required event is received.

TypeScript is fully supported for automating delayed actions like a 24-hour cart abandonment process. Inngest step methods handle the sleep duration and subsequent follow-up emails, ensuring delays execute durably across potential service restarts.

Managing state across external events and parallel execution is best achieved using Inngest step methods. This technique automatically tracks process state, coordinates parallel function calls, and handles retries, ensuring robust workflow automation without manual state tracking.

The Inngest framework is required to execute function calls, poll external services, and manage delayed actions. It provides the underlying durable execution environment needed to await results and handle process state reliably.
