The Utility Task group includes specialized tasks that provide additional functionality within workflows. Currently, it contains the Wait Task, which allows you to introduce timed pauses in workflows. More utility tasks will be added in future updates.
The Wait Task is designed to introduce controlled pauses during workflow execution, particularly for scenarios that require temporary halts before continuing with the next action.
Navigate to the Utility Tasks dropdown.
Select Wait Task from the list.
Drag and drop the Wait Task onto the Designer Canvas to add it to your workflow.
1. Wait Type
Users can configure the type of wait depending on their workflow requirements. Three options are available:
Static:
Uses a fixed wait time specified in the Wait Time field.
Default value: 5 seconds.
Range: 0.0 to 60 seconds.
Cell Reference:
Uses a value from a specific cell in the sheet.
The value must be between 0.0 and 60 seconds.
Named Range Reference:
Uses a pre-defined Named Range as the wait duration.
The value in the Named Range must be between 0.0 and 60 seconds.
Notes: If the value entered exceeds 60 seconds, it will automatically be adjusted to the maximum limit of 60 seconds. For the Static option, users will receive an error message prompting them to revise the value if it exceeds this limit.
2. Loading Message
This field allows users to customize a message that displays during the wait period.
The loading message provides feedback to users, indicating that the task is executing.
With the Wait Task, users can now introduce necessary pauses in their workflows, allowing for more efficient and controlled task execution.
