Could Scoutbees Alerts Have a Delay Before Baseline Screenshot Capture?

A user asked if there was a way to add a delay before the baseline screenshot capture when setting up a Scoutbees alert. The Product Manager responded that this is not feasible as of today. The user then provided more information on why they would find this feature useful – they are using Scoutbees to monitor the functionality of an application, but after an update the screenshot is taken before the application has a chance to launch, causing a baseline screenshot check to fail.

Is there a way to add a delay before the baseline screenshot capture when setting up a Scoutbees alert or is that something that could be integrated in the future?

If I remember well, the screenshot is taken before the timeout happens… I’d try to change the timeout value to see if it’s changing the moment for the screenshot…

@member / @member are the best ones to have a better answer for this question

Thank you for your feedback, it’s very much appreciated

So I had an anwser from the Product Manager, @member and it’s not feasible as of today. In order to understand better, could you give us the use case why you would find usefull to configure a "waiting time" before the screenshot?

We are using Scoutbees to monitor the functionality of a particular application with the baseline screenshot feature. It was previously working as expected and didn’t take the screenshot until the application in the startup folder had launched, however after updating our scout it now sometimes takes the screenshot before the application has a chance to launch which causes it to trigger a failure on our baseline screenshot check
