Utility action — works with any productDelay ships with the platform, not with a specific product. It is available whether you own Document Management, Document Generation, Document AI, or any combination — and consumes no automation credits.
What this action does
Pauses the flow for the given duration before the next action runs. The classic use: storage providers need a moment to index newly created resources — a 10-second delay between ⚡ Create Folder and a follow-up search avoids flaky automations. Equally handy before AI processing or after document generation.
