05/31/2024, 7:22 AMIs this how Botpress works? In the code template I'm using, I have a timeout function set for 5 seconds, but Botpress is jumping to the next card before the timeout completes. I want to make Botpress wait until the timer finishes before moving to the next card. How can I achieve this?

05/31/2024, 11:38 AMso it's difficult to execute code while the bot is waiting for a response

05/31/2024, 11:39 AMif you have a "capture information" card, you need to wait for the user response
