How to set up and use Wait/Delay action
Pause the Workflow for a specified duration. Follow these steps:
Add a Wait/Delay action: While editing a Workflow, click the plus button between existing blocks. This will open a modal where you can select from Cassidy's pre-configured actions. Choose the Wait/Delay action to add it to your Workflow.
Rename the action (if needed): If you want to make the action more descriptive or easier to reference as a variable later, enter a new name.
Select Wait Mode: Choose between two wait options:
Wait for a specific duration: Pause the Workflow for a set amount of time
Wait until a specific date and time: Pause the Workflow until a particular date and time
Configure duration settings (if "Wait for a specific duration" is selected):
Enter Duration: In the first field, enter a value or reference a variable from previous steps
Select Unit: Choose the time unit from the dropdown (seconds, minutes, or hours)
The maximum wait duration is 30 days.
Configure date and time settings (if "Wait until a specific date and time" is selected):
Enter Reference Date: Select the date using the date picker, or click the pencil icon to enter the date directly. You can reference variables from previous steps or the trigger to provide context
Choose Offset: Select when to resume the Workflow relative to the reference date:
At that time: Resume the Workflow exactly at the specified date and time
Before: Resume the Workflow before an offset from the specified date and time
After: Resume the Workflow after an offset from the specified date and time
For "Before" and "After" options: Enter the Duration value and select the Unit (seconds, minutes, or hours)
Here's a sample of the type of output you can expect:
When the Workflow is paused, you'll see a waiting status indicator, and once the wait period completes, the Workflow continues to the next action automatically.
