A delay makes an automation wait before it moves on to the next step. Use it to send an email a few days after a partner signs up, for example, instead of right away.
In the automation, click the Delay step.
Choose how to wait:
Wait for a duration: waits a set time after the previous step. Enter a number and choose Minutes, Hours or Days.
Schedule a date: continues on a set date. Click Continue on and pick the date and time.
The automation now waits as you set before it checks the conditions and sends the email.
Good to know
With Schedule a date, partners who reach the delay after that date and time don't get the email.
To send the email right away, remove the delay step.
