Delay

The Delay step pauses the integration before continuing.

Configuration

When to use it

• Giving a downstream system time to finish processing something you just sent
• Spacing requests to stay within an external rate limit
• Waiting between retries of a check that may take a moment to become true

Notes

The delay occupies the run for its whole duration, so keep it modest inside a
Loop — a one-second delay across a thousand iterations adds a sixteen-minute run.
For anything longer, a scheduled integration is usually the better shape than a long delay.
