Delay Overview

Delay steps allow you to pause workflow execution for a specified duration. This is essential for creating workflows that need to wait before executing subsequent steps.

​
When to Use Delays

Delays are useful in many scenarios:
  • Follow-up sequences: Wait before sending reminder emails
  • Retry logic: Add delays between retry attempts
  • Rate limiting: Space out API calls to avoid rate limits
  • Scheduled actions: Create time-based workflows

​
Available Delay Steps

Time Delay

Pause workflow execution for a specified duration with support for seconds, minutes, hours, and days.

​
How Delays Work

When a delay step is executed:
  1. The workflow pauses at the delay step
  2. The specified duration elapses
  3. Execution continues to the next connected step
Delays are executed server-side. Your workflow will resume automatically after the delay period, even if you close your browser.
Combine delays with flow control steps to create sophisticated retry mechanisms or scheduled follow-up sequences.
