Need a moment to regroup? Delay lets you pause your workflows for a specific time, giving you the flexibility to catch your breath or gather more information. Whether you’re waiting on feedback, finalizing details, or just need a break, you can easily set a delay and come back when you're ready.

You can add a delay by specifying the duration you need between actions. The delay can be set in minutes, hours, or even days, depending on your workflow's requirements.
Once the specified delay time is up, the workflow automatically resumes from the next step without any additional action required from you.
Delays are useful in scenarios where a certain action needs to happen after a waiting period, such as waiting for customer feedback, finalizing a report, or processing data at set intervals. It's also handy for handling API rate limits or waiting for external system responses.
No, adding a delay does not affect the total execution time of your workflow. The delay period is included in the overall execution time, but it ensures that the workflow progresses only after the specified time has passed, which is essential for controlled pacing.
Yes, the workflow logs will reflect the delay periods, providing transparency about the time spent waiting and the overall progress of the workflow.
