Delay

This node allows you to delay the trigger of a node.

By using the delay node, you can delay the trigger of a specific node & therefore decide how often you’d like to run a specific action/automation.

Example

In the example below we want to get Facebook insights appended into a spreadsheet every 10 minutes.

Step 1:

We set the duration to delay the trigger to 10 minutes.
