# !! How to use Execute in background option
"Execute in background" option can be checked for the "Call Apex", "Callout", "Create Record", "Update Records" and "Delete Records" actions . It allows to execute action asynchronously. It may help in case if the action can not be executed in the current context.
{% hint style="info" %}
If the asynchronous process fails - user won't get error message on UI. The error will be sent to the email address that is responsible for receiving background errors (see it in Flexi Kanban [Basic Settings](/references/application-settings.md)) or to the current user email address.
{% endhint %}
When "Execute in background" selected you can set a gap which system will wait before starting to run the action. Gap value should be in minutes.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:
```
GET https://docs.flexikanban.ai/components/actions-action-groups/best-practices/how-to-use-execute-in-background-option.md?ask=&goal=
```
`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.
The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.
Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
