Currently, ey recipes apply is an asynchronous process. It simply starts the process and returns. This severely limits its use for scripting. It would be helpful if it waited until the process was complete and had a relevant return value. Then we could create alerts for errors, notices when background process was completed, and more. Feel free to make this an option, so that those who want an asynchronous process can still have that.

Note: I created an EY feature request first, then realized it may be better served here.
