Example 1: Cancel a timeout

Goal: Create a cancelTimeout action terminating a previously set timeout.

To achieve this the following code can be used:

{
  "type": "cancelTimeout",
  "params": {
    "name": "laterMessage",
    "background": true
  }
}

The name parameter specifies which timeout is to be canceled.

Result:

A cancelTimeout action has been created.
