Wait Node

Overview​

The Wait Node is a control flow component that introduces a timed delay between nodes in your flow, similar to JavaScript's setTimeout function. It allows you to create pauses and control the timing of content presentation.

This can be useful in a variety of situations, such as:

  • Creating a delay between two nodes to allow for a specific action to complete
  • Pausing a flow to allow the user to review information or make a decision
  • Creating a timer to trigger an event or action after a certain amount of time

Wait node

Inputs​

  • Duration: The amount of time (in seconds) to wait before proceeding to the next node.
    • Accepts decimal values (e.g., 0.5 for half a second)
    • Minimum value: 0
    • Maximum value: No strict limit, but recommended to keep under 60 seconds

Outputs​

  • Flow Control: Passes control to the next node after the specified wait time has elapsed.

Usage​

Typical use cases:

  • Creating a delay between two nodes to allow for a specific action to complete
  • Pausing a flow to allow the user to review information or make a decision
  • Creating a timer to trigger an event or action after a certain amount of time

The Wait Node has two connection points:

  • Input (left side): Connects to the preceding node
  • Output (right side): Connects to the subsequent node
