====== Delay ======
{{ :en:start:tasks:flow:task_delay.png?nolink|}}
This task allows you to insert one or more delays into your workflows, which pause the execution until a given date/time will be reach.

===== Options =====


You could combine multiple of this options, to use this universally

  * Base Date
    * Use the date from this field as base date and apply all options to them
    * //Dynamically updated base date// means, the delay will be updated if you modify the field, which was selected as base date. So you could wait a period of time, which could be defined by users and could be modified after the delay was initiated
  * minimum delay
    * This Option guarantee a minimum wait time if you never want to act immediately
    * Also this is the default delay, if you simple want to wait 1 hour
    * you could set minutes/hours/days/weeks
  * wait until next ...
    * this option wait until one selected day of week is reached
    * or wait until the given day of a month is reached
  * wait until time is
    * if you don’t want to continue this workflow before 8 o’clock, you can do this with this option. (Please pay attention to the UTC timezone)
  * wait until custom time
    * Here you could integrate your own custom function
    * You have to return an Unix Timestamp, which overwrite the base date (All other options will be applied to this date, too!)

If you want to **wait until a field has a configured value**, please combine the features of delay and conditions. (For example if you want to wait until a checkbox was set)
