I have a trigger based action which is configured to send a message to two different users via two different media types (Python scripts):

What I want is to execute both scripts at the same time, 2 minutes after the alert has been active.

• Step duration: 60 seconds
• from step 3 to 3: send message to user 1 via media type 1
• from step 3 to 3: send message to user 2 via media type 2

Audit log:

I have logging for both scripts assigned to media type 1 and 2 and I can verify that the script for media type 2 is only executed after the script for media type 1 is finished.

(actually the 2nd script is being executed first so the actual order doesn't match what is in the GUI, but I don't think it matters for this issue)

I would expect both scripts to be executed in parallel.
