Time delay

The Time delay action pauses your API Endpoint execution for a specified duration before continuing to the next action.

Required field:

Time (ms): The duration to pause in milliseconds

If you set the time to 1000, the workflow will pause for 1 second before proceeding to the next action.

Use time delays when you need to introduce intentional pauses in your API Endpoint, such as:

• Staggering calls to third-party APIs to avoid rate limits
• Giving external systems time to process a previous request
• Creating simple retry patterns together with Try/Catch
• Implementing delays between sequential operations

RATE LIMITING

When integrating with external APIs that have rate limits, use Time delay between requests to ensure you stay within their allowed request frequency.
