Add Delay Node
Updated
The Add Delay node is used to pause the execution of a workflow for a specified amount of time before proceeding to the next node. Instead of moving instantly from one step to the next, this node introduces a controlled wait period, which is useful when a process needs to allow time to pass before continuing, for example, waiting a day before sending a follow-up, or pausing a few hours before escalating a case.
Supported Fields
Field | Description |
Delay Value | Enter the amount of time that the workflow should pause before proceeding to the next node. For example, you can specify values such as 1, 2, 5, or 10. |
Time Unit | Select the unit of time to apply to the delay value. Supported options include Seconds, Minutes, Hours, Days, Weeks, Months, and Years. |
Together, the Delay Value and Time Unit define exactly how long the workflow should pause. For instance, setting a Delay Value of 2 with a Time Unit of Days will hold the workflow at that node for two full days before it moves on to the next step.
