Wait / Delay

Pause for a Fixed or Random wait, or wait Until a page condition is true. A timeout records a warning and the run continues.

Use Wait / Delay to give a page time to settle or hold later steps until a page condition is true.

Delay sleeps for a Fixed time or a Random range (1–3600 seconds). Until polls the page every 250ms until a selector Appears, Disappears, text Changes, or a condition Matches, or the timeout expires. Changes is that poll, not a MutationObserver. A timeout records a warning and the run continues.

Pause when this wait succeeds pauses the automation only after a successful Until.

The card suffix · Watch means a Wait Until exists on the graph.

How to add it

Add StepWait / Delay. Add Step inserts a 2-second Fixed Delay. Adding For Each Link inserts a 5-second Fixed Delay in Each Link if none exists.

Until Matches uses the same condition builder as If / Else, including a Saved name from Values.

Place Send Alert after Until when that moment should notify. Wait does not send alerts.

Not this step

Does not pace For Each Link between URLs. Repeat End wait is a different control (cycles, not steps). Is not If / Else — If evaluates once when the runner reaches it and does not block for a later change. A Scroll Page jump does not wait for newly loaded content; put Wait after that jump when the next step needs it.

Auto refresh vs page monitor splits the timer, If / Else, and Wait Until. The side panel tour shows where Until sits on the graph.
