...please no, first try to figure out if you really need someone else's input at all to make a decision and after that if that input is needed immediately, if yes you should have requested that information a few days ago already. If no, send an email and don't expect an answer before the next workday. Otherwise you just interrupted someone else's work the same way a meeting would, and that should be reserved for emergencies.
