Give every assignment you want to escalate from a non-zero `slaMinutes`, since 0 never expires and nothing can follow it\n2. Pick `TERMINATE` for risky actions so an unanswered approval fails the workflow instead of staying open to anyone\n3. Start approval workflows with an `idempotencyKey` and `RETURN_EXISTING`, so a retried start doesn't ask twice\n4. Refresh the JWT from `/api/token` with a set expiry instead of requesting one that never expires\n5. Fetch single doc pages, not llms.txt, which is the whole documentation in 2.57 MB\n\n### Temporal\n\n1. Put the decision in a typed Signal payload (approver, decision, comments, timestamp) instead of a bare boolean\n2. Always wait with a timeout and treat the timeout path as a rejection or an escalation on purpose\n3. Use the workflow ID as the approval ID, so the reviewer's tool only needs one value to send the Signal\n4. Use an Update instead of a Signal when the approver's tool needs an acknowledgement back\n5. Expect `ResourceExhausted` under load and let the SDK retry it, since signals are throttled last\n\n## Other comparisons with Orkes Conductor Human tasks or Temporal\n\n- [gotoHuman vs Orkes Conductor Human tasks](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/gotohuman-vs-orkes-conductor.md)\n- [gotoHuman vs Temporal](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/gotohuman-vs-temporal.md)\n- [Inngest vs Orkes Conductor Human tasks](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/inngest-vs-orkes-conductor.md)\n- [Inngest vs Temporal](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/inngest-vs-temporal.md)\n- [Orkes Conductor Human tasks vs Permit MCP Gateway](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/orkes-conductor-vs-permit-mcp-gateway.md)\n- [Orkes Conductor Human tasks vs Pushary](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/orkes-conductor-vs-pushary.md)\n- [Orkes Conductor Human tasks vs Trigger.dev](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/orkes-conductor-vs-trigger-dev.md)\n- [Permit MCP Gateway vs Temporal](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/permit-mcp-gateway-vs-temporal.md)\n- [Pushary vs Temporal](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/pushary-vs-temporal.md)\n- [Temporal vs Trigger.dev](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/temporal-vs-trigger-dev.md)\n", "meta": { "attribution": "Anchor Terminal (https://www.anchorterminal.com)", "docs": "https://www.anchorterminal.com/docs/", "generatedAt": "2026-10-05", "license": "CC-BY-4.0", "method": "https://www.anchorterminal.com/benchmark/", "methodology": "0.3", "openapi": "https://www.anchorterminal.com/openapi.json", "preview": false, "run": "2026-10-01", "runLabel": "October 2026 research run" }, "page": { "breadcrumbs": [ { "name": "Home", "url": "https://www.anchorterminal.com/" }, { "name": "Compare", "url": "https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/" }, { "name": "Orkes Conductor Human tasks vs Temporal", "url": "" } ], "description": "Temporal has a score of 77.2 (BB) against Orkes Conductor Human tasks's 54.2 (C).
