# Abort Request

This task receives an `AbortRequest` event from the Worker Manager and emits the outputs so that some custom logic can be done to decide if the Abort request will be allowed or denied. Based on that custom logic decision, this Task will either receive an `Allow` or a `Deny` input and will send the result to the WorkerManager, according with that received information.

## Behavior

This Task needs to be used with the Worker Manager which will start this Task through the `AbortRequest` event. After that, custom logic can be added to the Workflow and then link it to the `Allow` / `Deny` inputs of this Task, with the result decision.
