Holding a step until business hours

How can I make it so the next step of my workflow doesn't execute until it's between the hours or 9 and 5pm during the week? I've done this a couple other ways on other platforms. Thanks!

Hi @nicheweb,

Holding a particular step to execute only during specific hours is currently not possible. However, you can use Pabbly Connect Manager to start your workflow at 9 AM and stop it at 5 PM. Please check out the thread shared below to understand how you can do so.

You would need to create two new workflows—one to enable and another to disable your original workflow.

The only problem with this is that if it receives something outside of business hours, the flow will never happen. I believe I have a way to accomplish this so I will report back once I have that configured.

In regards to feedback, it would be nice to be able to put "a weekday" and other similar options in the delay until step.

Thank you for your suggestion. I will pass it on to the team.
