Wait
Pauses workflow execution for a specified duration or until a specific date and time. Use this node to add delays between steps, implement rate limiting, or schedule downstream processing for a future time.
Configuration
| Field | Description | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Wait Mode | How to determine the wait duration | Fixed Duration or Until Date/Time. Defaults to Fixed Duration. |
Fixed Duration
| Field | Description | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Duration | The amount of time to wait | Defaults to 1. Must be 0 or greater. |
| Unit | The time unit | Seconds, Minutes, Hours, or Milliseconds. Defaults to Seconds. |
Until Date/Time
| Field | Description | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Wait Until | The target date and time | Supports templates, e.g., {{data.scheduled_at}}. Accepts RFC 3339 format (2026-12-31T23:59:59Z), YYYY-MM-DDTHH:MM:SS, YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS, or YYYY-MM-DD. |
Output
The Wait node passes through all input data unchanged after the wait period completes.
WARNING
The maximum wait duration is 24 hours. Any configured duration longer than 24 hours will be capped at 24 hours.
TIP
The Until Date/Time mode is useful when your data includes a scheduled timestamp. If the target time is already in the past, the node proceeds immediately without waiting.
