Use this page when you need to delay the next step in a scenario or start a scenario from a schedule.

​
Overview

The current builder separates these two controls:
  • Time delay is a step inside the scenario.
  • Schedule is a trigger source.
Use Time delay when the scenario already has a trigger and you want to wait before the next step runs. Use Schedule when you want the automation to start from a date or repeating schedule.

​
