Workflow Pause
A workflow pause is used to pause a workflow until a specified date, or time period has elapsed.
When the time has elapsed, the workflow will automatically resume and continue running until the workflow execution hits a workflow object that requires user interaction. The Workflow Pause Until object is very handy for designing workflow that needs to “hiberate” for a time-period and then automatically “wake up” and continue working. This is useful for HR Onboarding/Offboarding, delayed requests, time-sensitive operations, Change Management and more.
Use
A workflow pause can be inserted anywhere within the workflow (except the very first object), and multiple workflow pause objects can be used within a workflow.
A workflow pause requires a time period, or “resume date” to be set. This can either be set as a time-period offset (eg. In 2 hours), or a specific date that has been set by a workflow variable.
