Delay

The Delay action is a timer you can insert into your workflow. This action is helpful when you want to wait a specified period of time before sending a notification to a user or build in a buffer between two events to account for processing time. For example, if you want to reach out to a manager after two days of an unresolved issue or automatically notify a customer 20 minutes after a particular event, the Delay action is ideal.

Turn Action Block On or Off

By default, action blocks are enabled and turned on. Select the toggle in the top right of the action panel to disable or turn it off.

When building a module, remember you can toggle actions on and off rather than deleting them.
