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
