Hi @nveeranki-dg, thanks for updating the post and providing additional details. I created a custom add-in & used the JS code you provided but was unable to reproduce this scenario at my end. Can you please confirm whether you are doing any additional post processing as well apart from what you shared in the JS code above?

In general, Smart alert add-ins are intended to be short-running and lightweight, and the prompt you observe is shown in case the add-in processing takes longer than expected. As such, I encourage you to further optimize your code, for example you can leverage OnMessageRecipientsChanged or OnMessageAttachmentsChanged events for doing attachment related processing. You can read more about the best practices related to the same here.

A few additional queries:

  1. Does your add-in also include other Launch Events? If yes, you can host the add-in on a private repo and give access to @exextoc to help us repro this scenario.
  2. Do you have any other Smart alert add-ins running as well?
  3. Are you observing this only for PDFs?
