As the overall idea of IFS's API, when you run an API, the processing result comes back, but at which point is the processing result actually output?
- The message is sent after the API process is completed.
- The message is sent as soon as the API is executed, without waiting for the API process to complete.

Hi ​@YUKIS,

It depends on whether the API operation is synchronous or asynchronous. In a synchronous API call, the response is returned once the request has been fully processed. For example, in IFS Connect outbound messaging, Invoke_Outbound_Message is synchronous,  it waits for a response from the receiving endpoint before returning.

Post_Outbound_Message, on the other hand, is asynchronous. It queues the message as an Application Message and immediately returns a message ID, while the actual processing happens in the background.
