Sleep

The Sleep action node is used to temporarily pause the execution of an action for a set duration.

Usage

The Sleep action node has several valuable use cases:

• Rate limiting: When making API calls or performing repeated actions that need to be spaced out to avoid overwhelming systems or hitting rate limits. For example, waiting 1 second between each API request.

• Retry logic: When calling external endpoints, adding a delay before retrying can help resolve temporary issues.

• Improved UX: When manipulating the UI, e.g., opening or closing dialogs, or displaying a feedback animation to the user, adding a delay can be useful to create smoother transitions and better UX.
