Wait action

Use this action to pause the email, survey, or message process for a duration or until a time that you specify. Durations have a composite value of days, hours, minutes, and seconds. The length of the duration is the total of days, hours, minutes, and seconds values. You can use a duration value to determine how long part of a process waits before it proceeds.

Note: For inbound email, inbound message, inbound chat, workflow, in-queue email, and in-queue message flows, this action disconnects after 72 hours and then enters error handling. For survey invite flows, the action disconnects after one hour.
