Wait

Pauses workflow execution for a fixed number of seconds before continuing.

Properties

Property	Required	Description
Timeout	Yes	Number of seconds to wait

Behaviour

Execution suspends for the specified duration. All downstream nodes are blocked until the wait completes. There is no polling — the node simply delays for the exact duration configured.

Example

Add a 30-second delay between two API calls to avoid rate limiting:

• Timeout: 30

Notes

• The value is parsed as an integer at runtime; decimals are truncated.
• For longer pauses (minutes or hours) driven by external events, consider the Approval Gate node instead, which suspends without consuming a running execution thread.
