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.
| Wait | Details |
|---|---|
| Wait | Specify the waiting time by providing either fixed value or using Variable Wizard. |
| Variable Wizard |  Use dynamic data input—substitute a parameter from a file, web, connected Trigger, other Actions, date and time presets, etc. |
| Time units |  Define and set a time frame in any given preferred format—be it milliseconds, seconds, minutes, hours, or days. |

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.
