# Wait

> Pause workflow execution for a set duration before continuing.

The Wait action pauses the workflow for a duration you set before moving to the next node.

## Configuration

| Field        | Required | Description                      |
| ------------ | -------- | -------------------------------- |
| **Duration** | Yes      | How long to wait                 |
| **Unit**     | Yes      | Seconds, minutes, hours, or days |

## Use case

An End of Call trigger fires when a call ends with no answer. A Wait node pauses for 30 minutes, then a Call Lead node dials again. If there's still no answer after two attempts, a Send SMS action sends a text instead.
