Hello,  
I am configuring my endpoint to post data. What is the correct set up re the attribute `Start task async`. Should this be set to true or false? What is the difference and how does it affect the POST itself?  
Thank you.

Hi Henrich,

**Start task async** allows you to process task in the background. In case the async process type is selected you get 201 reply with a system message on endpoint POST and task is processed in the background. Please note that you can’t set output schema in case of an async post as the response is not waiting for the task to finish.

Tomas.
