The Wait block pauses your workflow for a specified amount of time before continuing to the next block. Use it to add delays between actions, respect API rate limits, or space out operations.

## Configuration
|
|
|
|
### Wait Amount
|
|
|
|
Enter the duration to pause execution:
|
|
- **Input**: Positive number
|
|
- **Maximum**: 600 seconds (10 minutes) or 10 minutes
|
|
|
|
### Unit
|
|
|
|
Choose the time unit:
|
|
- **Seconds**: For short, precise delays
|
|
- **Minutes**: For longer pauses
|
|
|
|
<Callout type="info">
|
|
Wait blocks can be cancelled by stopping the workflow. The maximum wait time is 10 minutes.
|
|
</Callout>
|
|
|
|
## Outputs
|
|
|
|
- **`<wait.waitDuration>`**: The wait duration in milliseconds
|
|
- **`<wait.status>`**: Status of the wait ('waiting', 'completed', or 'cancelled')
|
|
|
|
## Example Use Cases
|
|
|
|
**API Rate Limiting** - Stay within API rate limits between requests
|
|
```
|
|
API (Request 1) → Wait (2s) → API (Request 2)
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
**Timed Notifications** - Send follow-up messages after a delay
|
|
```
|
|
Function (Send Email) → Wait (5min) → Function (Follow-up)
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
**Processing Delays** - Wait for external system to complete processing
|
|
```
|
|
API (Trigger Job) → Wait (30s) → API (Check Status)
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Best Practices
|
|
|
|
- **Keep waits reasonable**: Use Wait for delays up to 10 minutes. For longer delays, consider scheduled workflows
|
|
- **Monitor execution time**: Remember that waits extend total workflow duration
