Delay Block

The Delay block pauses the workflow for a specified number of seconds before executing the next node. Use it to simulate human-like timing, wait for pages to load, or avoid triggering rate limits.

Fixed Delay

Enter a number to pause for that exact duration. For example, 2 pauses for 2 seconds.

Random Delay

Enter a range in the format (x,y) to generate a random pause between x and y seconds each time the block runs. For example, (2,5) pauses for a random duration between 2 and 5 seconds.

When to Use Delay

• Simulating human behavior — Random delays between actions make your automation less detectable.
• Waiting for content to load — Add a short delay after page navigation if the content loads dynamically.
• Rate limiting — Prevent your workflow from sending requests too quickly to a website.

Tips

• Prefer random delays (x,y) over fixed delays for more natural behavior.
• For page-load waits, consider using the Browser Event (Tab Loaded) block instead of a fixed delay — it is more reliable.
