Pabbly delay doesn't work
Status: Open · Asked by Ton Won on · 0 views
I setup Delay for 1 Minutes but the autoflow was no delay, keep auto run per second.
Please advise!

Hello @gpro,
The delay seems to be working fine, refer to the attached images.


If it is still persisting, could you please share a screencast instead, you can better understand exactly where it didn't worked.
All workflows autorun under 1 min, even I setup 3 mins delay.
pls check the time
Hello @gpro,
Could you please try adding a two-minute delay just after the iterator, instead of adding a minute delay at the end? Let us know if it works fine then.
It will loop the delay workflow

can you pls check the workflow?
I tried another position for "Delay 2 minutes", you can find the screenshot shows the time didn't delay.

Based on your Task History, we can see that you have added the delay before the Google Sheets action step, and it is being executed after a delay of 2 minutes.

To ensure that the ‘Whapi.Cloud’ action step is executed after a delay of 2 minutes each time, you need to add a Delay step immediately after the Iterator step.
================================================================
Please allow us some time to look into the issue related to the Delay being executed repeatedly when added after the Iterator step. We will get back to you with an update soon.
I tried add Delay step after the Iterator, but why it will loop the Delay Step like the screenshots:

I added Delay at the last step, it can work before.
Just don't know why it doesn't work in this week.
I think the Delay function has problem recently.

I can sure Delay has problem recently.
Since I can work properly after changed use JS Action random seconds delay.
Even I put it at the last step.
Hello @gpro,
Please try using Delay after queue instead of delay for, and let us know if it helps.

sorry I don't understand
Hello @gpro,
Please add the delay as per the attached image after the Iteartor, and let us know if it helps in resolving the issue.

I give up use Delay function since it caused loop the last workflow.
Changed to JS is properly run now.
Hello @gpro,
Glad it works with Javascript.
Thanks for adding the update.
