Workflow with User Input

Question

Newbie to Apache-Hop.

Is it possible to create blocking actions (for a workflow) that wait for a User input? A very basic use-case will be Supervisor-Approval. More advanced will be additional data input.

Is this possible?

Backgound - I'm browsing through Apache projects suitable to develop business workflows.

I don't think it's possible to interact with a user directly from Hop but you can get the "Supervisor stuff" splitting the process in two workflows. The first prepares the data upon which a Supervisor has to perform his approval and the second reacts as the approval is done.
