I believe Screen Flow may also be useful for collecting key inputs from the end user before making the callout.

What about using a Quidditch broom to call the web service? I heard that's the latest Salesforce technology. Joking aside, B and C seem like the way to go.

Ha! Process Builder? Really? That's like trying to use a hammer to screw in a lightbulb. A and C all the way!

I agree with Lightning web component, but we also need Apex methods that return Continuation object for handling the long response time.

I'm not sure about B. Isn't that for long-running Apex jobs? I think A and C are better options here.

Definitely B and C! Async Apex and Flows are perfect for handling long-running external service calls.

Hmm, I don't know, the Process Builder option seems a bit odd for this kind of scenario. I can't really see how that would fit in with the requirement to collect user input.

You know, I was thinking the same thing. The Screen Flow could be a nice way to handle the UI, and then the Apex Continuation object could manage the asynchronous web service call.

Ooh, I bet the Screen Flow option could be really useful here. The developer could use that to collect the user input, and then kick off the web service call in the background.

Yeah, the options given seem to point towards using some kind of asynchronous processing. I'm guessing the Continuation object in Apex might be a good choice, but I'm not sure how that would integrate with the user input collection.

I agree, the key here is to avoid blocking the user while waiting for the web service response. I think the developer should use a combination of approaches to achieve this.

Hmm, this question seems focused on handling long-running web service calls. I think the developer needs a way to collect user input and then asynchronously process the request without locking up the user interface.
