Delay Block
Introduce delays in Scout workflows for timing control
The Delay block is designed to introduce a pause or delay within a Scout workflow. This functionality is crucial for timing control, allowing certain steps to be delayed until a specified duration has passed.
Configuration (Required)
The duration of the delay in milliseconds. The default value is 1000 milliseconds (1 second).
Outputs
The Delay block outputs the actual delay applied in milliseconds along with elapsed time details. This information can be used to verify the timing control within your workflow.
Usage Context
Use this block when you need to introduce a delay in your workflow, such as waiting for an external process to complete. It can also be used for testing and debugging purposes to simulate network latency or processing time.
Best Practices
- Set appropriate delay durations to avoid unnecessary workflow slowdowns.
- Use delays judiciously to balance timing control and efficiency.
