Wait¶

The Wait component delays downstream execution by a specified duration. It passes through data unchanged after the delay period, useful for rate limiting, scheduling gaps, or creating timed workflows.

Outputs¶

Configuration¶

The Wait component accepts the following configuration in extra_config:

The actual delay is calculated as duration * multiplier, where the multiplier is:

Usage¶

1. Add a Wait node from the Node Palette (Logic category)
2. Configure the duration and unit in Extra Config
3. Place the Wait node between the steps where you need a delay

The Wait component emits a _delay_seconds key in its output, which the orchestrator uses to pause execution for the specified duration before continuing to downstream nodes.

Example¶

A workflow that sends a follow-up message 5 minutes after the initial response:

flowchart LR
    T[Chat Trigger] --> A1[Response Agent]
    A1 --> W[Wait]
    W --> A2[Follow-up Agent]
    M[AI Model] -.->|model| A1
    M2[AI Model] -.->|model| A2

Wait Extra Config:

{
  "duration": 5,
  "unit": "minutes"
}

The Response Agent answers immediately. After a 5-minute delay, the Follow-up Agent runs and can send additional information or ask for feedback.
