Delay

---

Description

The Delay node allows you to pause the execution of your workflow for a specified duration. This can be useful in various scenarios, such as waiting for an external process to complete, adding a delay between API calls to avoid rate limits, or creating timed intervals in your agent's behavior.

Common Use Cases

• Rate Limiting: If your workflow involves making API calls to a service with rate limits, you can use the Delay node to space out the calls and avoid hitting those limits.
• Waiting for External Events: If your workflow needs to wait for an external event or process to complete (e.g., waiting for a file to be uploaded, or for a user to respond), you can use the Delay node to pause execution until it's appropriate to continue.
• Creating Intervals: If you want your agent to perform an action at regular intervals (e.g., checking for updates every hour), you can use the Delay node to create those intervals.
