Invalid Outgoing Webhooks that await for a response will end up aborted after 35 mins

XMLWordPrintable

    • Severity 3 - Minor

      Issue Summary

      Running an Automation rule with action "Send Web Request", with the "Delay execution of subsequent rule actions...." logic, when the request URL is invalid, will cause the rule to take 35 mins before finishing with an ABORTED status. 

      This is reproducible on Data Center: (no)

      Steps to Reproduce

      1. Create a rule with an Outgoing Webhook
      2. Enabled "Delay execution of subsequent rule actions...."
      3. Enter an invalid Web request using smart values (URI validation does not occur for smart values)

      Expected Results

      Rule reports SOME ERRORS to the audit log after a few seconds

      Actual Results

      The rule will run for 35 mins and then end up in the audit log with an ABORTED status

      Workaround

      Ensure that the when using smart values, the webhook URI is valid, the action proceeding the outgoing webhook could be a LOG action for validation
