Answer 1

You can make use of run_at option provided by delayed job.

class RecordModel < ActiveRecord::Base
   after_create :make_delayed_entry

   def make_delayed_entry
      Delayed::Job.enqueue(SendMailAndWaitJob.new(parameters), 0, 5.minutes.from_now, :queue => "queue_name")
   end
end

SendMailAndWaitJob its the class file(lib file) where you can check request accepted or not.
