Delay
Pause workflows for a specified duration before performing tasks. Choose to delay for minutes, hours, or even days.
Overview
Delaying actions gives you control over when tasks are triggered. You can set this delay to last for just a few minutes or extend it to hours or days, depending on your needs. This is especially useful for workflows that require follow-ups, reminders, or timed sequences.
How to delay an action
Create a workflow
On your dashboard, click Workflows on the top menu followed by + Blank workflow. Alternatively, you can open a form and navigate to Integrate to create a workflow.
Choose delay as a first action
Select a trigger. Then, choose Delay as your first action and set how soon you want a task to be done. The default is 30 minutes but you can delay for days.
Add another action
Click the + icon under Delay to add another action. For this example, let’s choose Slack. Remember to Test your workflow, before clicking Publish on the upper right corner.
Publish and share
That’s it! Publish and share your form. Now, every form submission will send its responses to your chosen Slack channel 30 minutes later.
