3. Download Metadata and covers
4. Hit the "Yep, use the info you found" button on the message that pops up.
Unfortunately, I need to do 2 and 4 manually. Not a big deal, expept that the window from 4 appears "in front" of the window for 2, which I can't hit as a result. So, downloading metadata starts before the ISBN is inserted and thus generally doesn't find anything.
So, I'd love a step 2.5 that was "Wait until the button is hit" or even a step 2.5 that was "Wait 15 seconds before continuing (or a new step 2, "Hit the button without user help"). Perhaps you can think of another solution.
Great if possible. Regardless, thank you so much.

That has been discussed multiple time before, and it is not possible, because the plugin cannot the control flow of other calibre actions. So consider these two actions incompatible with Action Chains.
The only solution would be for someone to write Action Chains action that repackages the code of these actions in a way that does what you are asking for. I am personally not interested in this, as I don't use these actions. But the plugin does provide the ability for anyone who wants to write a custom action to do so.
