Wait
Add a delay within a workflow run before proceeding to the next step.
The Wait step lets you add a fixed time period between two steps. This is useful for scheduling follow-up actions, spacing out notifications, or waiting for some process to complete. For instance, you could add a 3 day wait after a “user row inserted” trigger to send an email three days after a signup.
To add a Wait step, click the ”+” placeholder node in the builder or the ”+” button on any connection between two steps. Then click “Wait step”.
From there, you can specify a duration and unit of time for the run to wait before proceeding to the next step.
Note: The Wait step passes through the same input data to subsequent steps after the delay. It’s designed solely to pause the workflow’s execution without transforming the data.
Dynamic waits (coming soon)
Soon, you’ll be able to add dynamic waits to your workflows: instead of using a fixed delay, you can set the wait duration based on input data—for example, by running a SQL query to determine the wait time (e.g., “wait until 1 month before the expiry date”). This makes your scheduling even more flexible.
