Hi @tmladenov_atos, Is this just about control flow aesthetics and avoiding “callback hell”? If so, you can use async/await style JavaScript syntax in the Postman Sandbox. It just requires a little hack. The Postman Sandbox detects open timeouts and intervals and awaits execution until they’re all cleared/resolved.

Hey @steven.lee,
Interesting question. It’s difficult though for a reader to gain complete context. Are you referring to an existing thread/conversation? If so, could you share that, please? That would make it much simpler for a member to respond.

Also, a big big welcome to the community
