Delay Node (Renamed Wait & Resume Node)

The Delay Node has been renamed and upgraded to the Wait & Resume Node. While existing workflows using Delay will continue to function, all new workflows should use Wait & Resume.

The Delay node is a crucial tool in workflow design, allowing for the introduction of pauses for specified durations. This feature is particularly valuable for timing-based operations and rate-limiting API calls.

Functionality

• Pausing Workflows: The primary function of the Delay node is to pause the execution of the workflow for a specified duration.

• Timing-Based Operations: It enables workflows to wait for a specific period before proceeding, which is useful for tasks that require timing precision.

• Rate-Limiting API Calls: Delay nodes can be employed to control the rate at which API calls are made, preventing excessive requests within a short timeframe.

Conclusion

The Delay node provides a simple yet powerful mechanism for introducing pauses in workflows, enabling precise timing control and effective rate-limiting of API calls. By leveraging Delay nodes effectively, users can enhance the efficiency and reliability of their workflows.
