Wait Block

Temporarily pause your workflow for a specified duration in LemmeBuild.

The Wait Block is a simple yet powerful tool within LemmeBuild that allows you to pause your workflow for a specified duration. Whether you're waiting for an external process to complete, handling rate limits, or simply adding a delay between steps, the Wait Block provides precise control over timing in your workflow.

Functionality

Pausing Workflow Execution

The Wait Block halts the workflow execution for a set amount of time before allowing the subsequent steps to proceed. The duration is specified in milliseconds, giving you granular control over the exact amount of delay needed between actions. This makes it especially useful for scenarios where timing is critical, such as:

  • Waiting for external processes: If your workflow interacts with external APIs or services that need some time to respond, you can use the Wait Block to introduce a delay before the next action.
  • Handling rate limits: In cases where you're working with APIs that enforce rate limits, the Wait Block can pause execution to ensure compliance and prevent being throttled.
  • Adding delays for user interaction: If your workflow requires manual user input or observation, the Wait Block can give users the necessary time to act before moving forward.

Key Features

  • Precise Timing Control: The delay is defined in milliseconds, offering precise control over how long your workflow pauses. You can specify any duration based on your needs.
  • Smooth Workflow Execution: The Wait Block integrates seamlessly with other blocks, ensuring that your workflow proceeds smoothly after the delay without manual intervention.

Why Use the Wait Block?

Timing can be crucial in automating workflows, especially when interacting with external systems or waiting for manual input. The Wait Block gives you control over those pauses, ensuring that your workflow runs smoothly and without interruption. With the ability to define precise delays, you can better manage the timing of your tasks and prevent issues caused by processes running too quickly or out of sync.


Incorporate the Wait Block into your LemmeBuild workflows to pause actions where necessary, ensuring better timing control and more efficient automation.
