Delay
Add timed delays to your automation workflow. Use this action to wait for elements to load, ensure actions complete, or simulate human-like interaction timing.
Overview
The Delay block pauses the automation for a specified duration. This is particularly useful when:
- Waiting for page elements to load
- Ensuring animations complete
- Simulating human-like interaction timing
- Managing rate-limited operations
Configuration
This block requires:
- Delay duration in milliseconds
- Example:
2000
for 2 seconds - Minimum:
100ms
- Maximum:
30000ms
(30 seconds)
Usage Example
Scenario: Waiting for content to load
Common Use Cases:
- After page navigation:
2000ms
- After button clicks:
500ms
- Before form submission:
1000ms
- Between API calls:
3000ms
Notes
- Use delays sparingly—they make automation slower
- Consider using Wait For Element instead for dynamic content
- Shorter delays (100-500ms) work well for most UI interactions
- Longer delays might be needed for heavy page loads or rate limiting
