Delay Blocks

Delay blocks pause the flow for a specified number of seconds before continuing to the next block.

When to use

  • Rate-limited APIs — avoid hitting rate limits between requests
  • Eventual consistency — wait for data to propagate before checking
  • Webhook processing — give the server time to process async operations

Adding a delay

Click Delay in the toolbar to add a delay block. Click it to set the duration in seconds.

Configuration

The delay block shows “DELAY” with the seconds on the canvas. During execution, it pulses purple while waiting.
