How to pause and redirect in express

I'm writing a code in express js that will post data and create a recorded. The record takes 1-3 seconds to get created, not sure of how long it will take. Is there a way that I can redirect to that record after that is created?

Here is my current code.

router.post("/recipePost", async (req, res) => {
  var body = req.body;
  var axios = require("axios");
  var data = JSON.stringify({
     "name":"john"
    });

  var config = {
    method: "post",
    url:
      "https://myEndpoint.com",
    headers: {
      "Content-Type": "application/json",
    },
    data: data,
  };
  try {
    var resData = await axios(config);
    navigateToRec(resData.data.response.meta.id);
  } catch (err) {
    console.log("err");
  }
});

and my navigate method is as below.

navigateToRec = async (recId) => {
  console.log("recId" + recId);
  const resp = await axios.get(
    `https://myEndpoint.com/${recId}`
  );
  try {
    res.send({ redirect: "/recipeDetail/" + resData.data.response.meta.id });
  } catch (err) {
    this.navigateToRec(rec);
  }
};

Basically trying to call the same method till the record creation is a success. But here console.log("recId" + recId); is printing the Id created. Please let me know where am I going wrong and how can I fix this.

Here is the error

(node:83576) UnhandledPromiseRejectionWarning: Error: Request failed with status code 404 at createError (/Users/rkeerthi/Desktop/Node js/yext-site/node_modules/axios/lib/core/createError.js:16:15) at settle (/Users/rkeerthi/Desktop/Node js/yext-site/node_modules/axios/lib/core/settle.js:17:12) at IncomingMessage.handleStreamEnd (/Users/rkeerthi/Desktop/Node js/yext-site/node_modules/axios/lib/adapters/http.js:293:11) at IncomingMessage.emit (events.js:412:35) at endReadableNT (internal/streams/readable.js:1317:12) at processTicksAndRejections (internal/process/task_queues.js:82:21) (Use node --trace-warnings ... to show where the warning was created) (node:83576) UnhandledPromiseRejectionWarning: Unhandled promise rejection.
