With the Pause node you stop the flow execution for a set amount of time. Use it to simulate natural wait times, give the user time to read a long message, or wait for an external process.

​
Configuration

1

Define the time

Enter the pause duration as a numeric value (minimum 1). This value is combined with the unit you choose in the next step.
2

Select the unit

Choose the time unit to apply to the configured value:
UnitTypical use
SecondsBrief pauses between consecutive messages
MinutesShort waits for external processes
HoursScheduled reminders or follow-ups
DaysLong-term follow-up flows
Use pauses of 1–3 seconds between consecutive text messages to simulate a natural conversation and avoid them all arriving at once.
Pauses in hours or days keep the flow execution active. Make sure your session expiration configuration is compatible with the configured pause time.

​
Example

3-second pause between messages

If you configure Time = 3 and Unit = Seconds, the flow waits 3 seconds before continuing to the next node. This allows you to give a brief breathing room between two consecutive text messages.
