🚀 Feature: Digest/Wait Until

[paulwer]

🔖 Feature description

We would like to see a callback function to check if a condition is true to f.ex. end a digest or wait step.
If leveraged, this could also lead to be used as schedules for checking workflows to be run. But this may be out of scope.

🎤 Why is this feature needed ?

This would enable followup emails or even responses to interaction more smoothly and would reduce the developers need to setup complex cronjobs for this.

Use-Cases I can think of:

• Error was resolved
• Errors & Warnings Workflow detected an error with a high priority, so it will skip the current digest and will populate all current digest events and the current event
• Thanks for your reply f.ex. in discord => maybe such use-cases can get much more complex to be honest :)

✌️ How do you aim to achieve this?

1. condition check function => the function which will check if a condition was met
2. ttl or trigger event-selector => define how often this should be triggered
3. BackOff strategy => to reduce systemload after a while

@scopsy can I take a look at this issue?

This could also be extened with a triggerEvent function within the sdk to trigger those waitUntil steps manualy to be completed with the user backend as an initiator. Maybe an optional maxTimeout could be usefull.

Additional use case:

• having a long running job triggering a workflow for a subscriber for multiple things within the process and proceed with all workflows to send emails, when the long-running job end, ensuring sending only one email.
