We have client action in which we have a flow which needs to be executed after a certain period of time. Is there any wait/sleep/delay action or function ?
We know this can be achieved by JavaScript/jQuery. However in this scenario we are adding rows into table using jQuery which loads during preparation. So we do not want to use jQuery/JavaScript

Add a JS delay in Action & try
var delayInMilliseconds = 1000; //1 second setTimeout(function() { //your code to be executed after 1 second }, delayInMilliseconds);

Hi shanthi kallareddy,
Can you explain what you are doing and why you cannot use JavaScript (or jQuery) to trigger its execution after a certain amount of time? It's the most obvious way of doing lazy-loading for instance.
The typical way of scheduling execution of server-side logic is to use a Timer (in the Processes tab). If you just want to wait (actively) for a certain amount of time, you can use the Sleep forge component.
Hope this helps!
Hi Shanthi,
For delaying the action flow. You can use the Sleep action in your flow instead of using JavaScript/JQuery. You can set the time (in miliseconds) into that action so it will wait for that certain time of period.
You have to install this in your application and use it inside the actions. like below image. Here I have set this sleep for 15 seconds in the flow.
I hope it will solve your query. Please let me know if its work for your problem.
Thanks

It works! Thanks.
