# Delay

> Wait for a specified duration

The **Delay** node pauses workflow execution for a specified amount of time. This is useful when you need to wait for animations, API responses, or other time-dependent operations.

## Parameters

| Parameter    | Type   | Required | Description             |
| ------------ | ------ | -------- | ----------------------- |
| `delay_time` | number | Yes      | Time to wait in seconds |

## Examples

### Basic Delay

Wait for 2 seconds:

```json theme={null}
{
  "id": "abc123",
  "name": "Wait for animation",
  "action": "DELAY",
  "parameters": {
    "delay_time": 2
  }
}
```

## Notes

* Time is specified in seconds
* Use delays sparingly; prefer using `wait_time` parameters on action nodes when waiting for specific elements
