Sleep

The Sleep activity is used to pause the workflow for a specified duration. It is useful when you need to delay execution before moving to the next activity — for example, waiting between API calls, adding buffer time between tasks, or pacing workflow execution.

Configuration​

Duration (Seconds)​

  • Required: Yes
  • Description: Enter the duration of the pause in seconds. The workflow will remain idle for this period before proceeding.
  • Maximum Limit: 3600 seconds (1 hour)

Example Use Cases​

  • Add delay between consecutive API calls to prevent rate-limit errors.
  • Wait for external systems or processes to complete before the next step.
  • Introduce controlled timing between dependent workflow activities.
  • Simulate a timed wait during workflow testing.

Notes​

  • Input must be a numeric value (in seconds).
  • The workflow resumes automatically once the specified duration has elapsed.
  • The maximum allowed wait time is 1 hour (3600 seconds).
