I want to send some entity changes to Slack.  
Some entity has a lot of data that needs to be filled, but it is difficult to call at the desired time because it occurs as an action every time a field is changed.  
For example, in the case of the dates field, two actions occur when the start date is changed and when the end date is changed.  
I was trying to write a Debounce function to send a message to Slack only for the last change.  
However, there doesn’t seem to be a setTimeout in the scripts in Automation.

Is there any way to solve this similar issue?

It’s self-explanatory.  
I decided to use Slack’s `chat.update` api to handle it.
