Short pause
The Short pause robot for Bitrix24 (Alaio) business processes waits for the number of seconds you set, then continues the process and reports Success. It returns the Call time and Completion time as Unix timestamps, so the next steps run only after the delay has elapsed.
Short pause is a flow-control robot for Bitrix24 (Alaio) business processes and robots that simply waits before the workflow moves on. You set the pause duration in seconds; the robot sleeps for that time and then returns control with a Success signal. It also returns two Unix timestamps — Call time, captured when the robot starts, and Completion time, captured when it finishes — which you can use for logging or simple timing checks. Use it to space out actions, give an external system a moment to catch up, throttle a sequence of messages, or wait briefly between steps without building a full timer. Drop it into the workflow designer next to the built-in activities; no code and no developer are required.
What input parameters does the robot accept?
| Parameter | Type | Required? | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| Pause duration (seconds) | int | yes | 5 |
What does the robot return?
| Parameter | Type |
|---|---|
| Call time | int |
| Completion time | int |
Scenario: wait a few seconds between two automated messages.
- Step 1. Add the Short pause robot to your business process.
- Step 2. Set Pause duration to the number of seconds, e.g. 5.
- Step 3. Place the next action after the robot so it runs once the pause ends.
- Step 4. Optionally store Call time and Completion time for logging.
