Is there any way to collect a user variable via text input without blocking the flow?

Hello everyone! Is there any way to collect a user variable via text input without blocking the flow? My scenario is as follows: if my client takes more than "x" minutes to respond on WhatsApp, I would like to trigger it again to keep him engaged in the chat, and if he exceeds a certain time without responses, end the chat with a personalized message.
