Delay start of workflow for 1 minute

0

If i understood it correctly ('delay execution of workflow') - you want to click on a path, then wait one minute in current step, and then go to another?

I'd check carefully this part - 'Start date' = 'Step entry date'.

Hi Nik,

this looks totally legit to me. I've used the same setup in multiple situations.
The only problems I had were:
- I had the workflow instance checked out while testing it. The timeout couldn't execute in this case
- There was an issue with the actions on the path

I could solve everything using the workflow history though.

You can also check the "timeout execution statistics" in admin mode to see, whether a timeout has been added.

The attachment shows an example of a timeout running into an error and the location of the timeout execution statistics.

Best regards,
Daniel

Hi Maksymilian & Daniel!

Thanks for the answers.

Yes, it starts on step entry date, after that it runs on its configured interval.

I was sending a payload to an external webservice on a path. The problem was that external webservice was immediately trying to consume my workflow element, which was unsaved at that state.

I added a timeout on this step with the webservice call, so workflow element should be saved at this time and the problem will (hopefully) be gone.

Thanks a lot & best regards, Nik
