Hi, I am new to Temporal. I am building a webapp where users can pause/unpause workflow execution. Is there a built in way to do this in temporal? E.g a single command to the scheduler? Or do I need to implement this myself using “pause” checks within my flow?

Currently there is no system level “pause”. We plan to add one in the future. So the pausing should be part of your workflow logic. You can use a signal or update to ask workflow to pause/unpause.

Thanks!

Is there an example implementation in Go/TS?
