Delay
System.Activities.Statements.Delay
The "Delay" activity in AutomatR is used to introduce a pause or wait time in the execution of a workflow, allowing for better synchronization and control over the timing of actions. This activity is essential when you need to add delays between activities or steps in your automation process.
Properties
| Name | Description |

| Misc | |
| Display Name | This property allows you to customize the display name of the activity within the workflow. |
| Duration | Specifies the duration of the delay, i.e., the amount of time the workflow will pause before proceeding to the next activity. It supports a TimeSpan variable, allowing for dynamic configuration of the delay duration based on your workflow requirements. Alternatively, you can input a string representing the time duration, such as "00:00:05" for a 5-second delay. |
Effectively configuring the "Delay" activity with an appropriate duration allows you to control the timing of your automation workflow, ensuring that actions are executed with the desired pauses between them. This is particularly useful for scenarios where synchronization, timing, or waiting for external processes is crucial to the success of the automation process.
