Automation Delay
Pause monday.com automations for exactly the right amount of time
Automation Delay lets teams insert a delay step into any monday.com automation recipe, so the next action runs only after the selected time has passed.
Delay Amount
30
Need more control over when your monday.com automations run?
Not every workflow should happen instantly. Automation Delay gives your team time to respond, review, or finish a task before the next automation step fires.
Automations fire immediately, whether you're ready or not
Automation Delay inserts a pause between automation steps so the next action happens at the right time.
Manual follow-ups waste time and create delays
Set a delay once and let monday.com resume the workflow automatically when the timer finishes.
Complex workflows need breathing room between steps
Add delays in seconds, minutes, hours, days, weeks, or months to match any workflow pace.
What Automation Delay can do
Delay automation workflows
Add a delay step between monday automation actions so the next action runs only after the selected time has passed.
Choose a custom delay amount
Set the delay using a number selected by the user, such as 5, 30, or 120.
Select the delay unit
Choose whether the delay is measured in seconds, minutes, hours, days, weeks, or months.
No board data changes required
The app does not need to read or edit board items. It waits for the selected time and tells monday.com to continue.

Wait 2 days after a lead is created before sending a follow-up task.
