Delay

Sometimes you need to wait a specific amount of time before the next step of your workflow proceeds. Pipedream supports this in one of two ways:
  1. The built-in Delay actions
  2. The $.flow.delay function in Node.js
. For example, we at Pipedream use this functionality to delay welcome emails to our customers until they’ve had a chance to use the product.

Delay actions

You can pause your workflow without writing code using the Delay actions:
  1. Click the + button below any step
  2. Search for the Delay app
  3. Select the Delay Workflow action
  4. Configure the action to delay any amount of time, up to one year
