Specify the amount of time the Wait Action will pause the execution of the Task. The Task will resume its operations with the next Action only after the wait time is over. The Wait Action accepts both fixed value of one of the multiple common time units and numeric inputs from preceding Actions or Triggers using Variable Wizard.

Interconnect

  • Wait integration and auditing—Variables (dynamic data) and Events (recorded activity). Access the waiting interval in milliseconds, as well as the user-specified time units and their name. Additionally, log an information event to outline the workflow's pause duration.

Delay options…

Automation Workshop includes options to pause a workflow and conditionally wait for different resource types. These waiting Actions operate similarly—they pause the workflow until a particular resource reaches a desired state, such as when a file appears or disappears.

Note

  • By using Random Number in Variable Wizard, it is possible to get random wait durations.
