Options

This task allows you to insert one or more delays into your workflows, which pause the execution until a given date/time will be reach.

Options

You could combine multiple of this options, to use this universally

Base Date

Use the date from this field as base date and apply all options to them

Dynamically updated base date means, the delay will be updated if you modify the field, which was selected as base date. So you could wait a period of time, which could be defined by users and could be modified after the delay was initiated

minimum delay

This Option guarantee a minimum wait time if you never want to act immediately

Also this is the default delay, if you simple want to wait 1 hour

you could set minutes/hours/days/weeks

wait until next …

this option wait until one selected day of week is reached

or wait until the given day of a month is reached

wait until time is

if you don’t want to continue this workflow before 8 o’clock, you can do this with this option. (Please pay attention to the UTC timezone)

wait until custom time

Here you could integrate your own custom function

You have to return an Unix Timestamp, which overwrite the base date (All other options will be applied to this date, too!)

If you want to wait until a field has a configured value, please combine the features of delay and conditions. (For example if you want to wait until a checkbox was set)
