Delay

Pause the workflow for a set time, then pass the same data onward.

Audience

Creators building and publishing workflows.

Overview#

Delay waits for a specified duration and then continues without changing the data. It adjusts timing, not content.

Use it to pace a workflow, space out requests, or wait before a follow-up step runs.

Delay

Press enter or space to select a node. Press delete to remove it and escape to cancel.
Press enter or space to select an edge. You can then press delete to remove it or escape to cancel.

Ports#

  • Input: Input: Whatever value should continue after the pause.
  • Output: Output: The same value, emitted after the delay finishes.

Inspector#

  • Duration (ms): How long to wait, in milliseconds.

Tips#

  • Keep delays intentional; document why a pause matters if it affects the product experience.
  • Do not use Delay to paper over unclear logic elsewhere in the graph.
  • Short delays can help with rate limits; long delays should be rare and obvious to customers.
  • Test total run time when several Delay blocks sit in sequence.
