Configuring a Workflow Delay

You can add a Delay node to a Workflow so that it pauses for a specified period of time before resuming the flow. This feature is useful for controlling the scheduling of actions within a Workflow.

• You can define the Delay in minutes, hours, or days.
• The delay can range from 1 minute to 30 days.
• You can add the Delay node anywhere in the Workflow, except:
  • Directly below the Scheduled/Manual trigger node.
  • Between non-triggering Event and Event Condition nodes.
  • Between Action and Action Condition nodes.
• You can add an additional Action Condition or Event Condition to the True branch of an Action Condition or Event Condition that has a Delay node, only if the branch also has an Action or Event node.

To pause a Workflow

1. Under a relevant node in the Workflow, hover over the + icon, and click
2. In the Delay dialog that opens, set Delay for to the desired pause time, in minutes, hours, or days.

Removing a Delay Node from a Workflow

You can remove a Delay node from a Workflow with or without its child nodes.

To remove a Delay node from the Workflow

1. Click the Delay node that you want to remove, and in the Delay pane that opens, click the Remove stepicon. The Remove Step box opens.

   • If the Delay node has child nodes, the Remove node with all of its child nodes option appears. Enable this option if you wish to remove the child nodes.

2. Click Remove.
