FAQPage Schema
How do I schedule a delayed action in an AI workflow?

To schedule a delayed action in an AI workflow, you use a timer to trigger tasks after a set duration. This skill integrates with automation tool nodes to delay execution steps by seconds, minutes, hours, or days.

What is the minimum duration allowed for scheduling a timer?

The minimum duration for scheduling a timer is any value greater than zero. The system performs input validation to ensure the duration is strictly positive before initializing the delayed execution.

Can I use this timer for rate limiting and delayed task execution?

Yes, you can use this timer for rate limiting and delayed task execution. It schedules one-time delays to control the pacing of automated workflows, ensuring actions trigger only after the specified interval passes.

Does the timer make persistent changes to the workflow environment?

No, the timer does not make persistent changes beyond the timer scope. It only schedules the delayed action and provides structured responses for set, triggered, and error states without altering the environment permanently.

What units of time are supported when scheduling a delay?

Scheduling a delay supports durations measured in seconds, minutes, hours, or days. You provide the duration and unit to the timer tool to configure the interval before the action triggers.
