To schedule delayed execution, you configure a one-time timer with a positive numeric duration and a specified unit. The timer triggers the action exactly once after the duration elapses, enabling waiting between workflow steps.

Yes, you can use a timer to add delays between steps for rate-limited calls. By setting a specific duration, the timer holds execution until the wait period passes, preventing rate limit violations during automated workflows.

Configuring a delayed timer supports seconds, minutes, hours, and days as time units. You must provide a positive numeric duration alongside one of these units to correctly schedule the deferred action or reminder.

Delayed timer execution works for both automation workflow triggers and AI agent tool use cases. It provides timed delays to execute follow-up actions like deferred notifications regardless of whether the context is a workflow or an agent.

A limitation of this one-time timer is that it triggers an action exactly once and does not support recurring schedules. It requires structured inputs with a positive numeric duration and limits units to seconds, minutes, hours, or days.
