Delay

Pause a flow for a set amount of time.

What a delay does

A Delay step pauses a flow for a specific amount of time (minutes, hours, days, weeks, or months).

1

Add a Delay step

Add a Delay step where you want the flow to pause.

2

Choose the time amount

Pick minutes, hours, days, weeks, or months.

3

Test with one contact

Trigger the flow once and confirm it resumes on schedule.

When to use it

  • Wait a few minutes before sending a follow-up
  • Delay an internal task so it doesn’t fire immediately
  • Add spacing between emails in a sequence

If you need a specific date or condition instead, use Wait Until.

Wait Until
Pause until a date/time or condition is met.
