I'm excited to announce that you can now use the Wait block to pause workflow execution for a specified amount of time. This block is useful for creating a single process that might need to take several hours, days, or weeks. For example, you could use the Wait block to:
- Grant a temporary access token, and revoke it after 24 hours.
- Send abandoned cart emails 1 hour after a customer leaves the website, and again after two days.
- Add a delay between several API calls in a loop to avoid hitting rate limits.
After the Wait block finishes executing, the workflow continues execution of the blocks downstream. Wait blocks only pause execution for blocks that are directly downstream, and they not do not affect blocks that are executed in parallel.
