Delay Action

The Delay Action block enables users to pause automation for a defined period or until a specific date. This feature is useful for scenarios that require a time-based delay, such as waiting for market conditions to change or aligning with scheduled events.

1. Action:

   • Specifies the delay action to be applied:

     • Wait For: Sets a delay for a specific duration in seconds.

     • Wait Until: Delays the action until a specified date and time.

2. Templates:

   • Users can choose from predefined delay templates:

     • Wait 1 hour: Automatically sets a 1-hour (3600 seconds) delay before the next action in the flow.

     • Wait until a specific date: Sets a delay until a particular UTC date and time, such as 00:00 (UTC) Friday, 23rd of August 2024.

   • These templates provide quick configuration options for common delay durations.

3. Time:

   • Specifies the delay duration in seconds when using the Wait For action. For example, setting 3600 delays the next action by 1 hour.

   • When using the Wait Until option, the user specifies a date and time instead, pausing the automation until the selected moment is reached.

These fields allow to introduce of precise timing controls into their automation flows, providing flexibility to delay actions based on strategic timing needs. This setup is ideal for pacing automation steps, waiting for specific market timings, or syncing actions with external schedules.
