Workflow Activities

Last updated Feb 19, 2025

Delay

System.Activities.Statements.Delay

Waits for a specified amount of time before continuing the workflow. Add this activity between activities that require good timing, for example before an activity that is waiting for an application to start, or between an activity that takes longer to process data and the next activity that uses that data as input.

Important:
  • The Delay and Retry Scope activities are not supported and do not work properly when used in the Main workflow of an Orchestration Process. In such cases, they should be placed inside a No Persist Scope activity.
