Definition and Usage

The Wait command is used to instruct the workflow to stop for a specified number of seconds given as input.

The Wait command should be used to ensure synchronization in your workflow. For instance, consider a program that requires two successive directions to be executed in order. Without the Wait command, the second instruction might be triggered before the first one is completed.

The Wait command allows you to delay the execution of the second instruction so that the first one can be completed before it. This ensures that your program runs smoothly and that each instruction is triggered in the right sequence.
