Question regarding Delay Trigger!

[zest83]

Suppose Google Sheets to Delay to WhatsApp
Delay of 5 days

So What is the max amount of Entries which the Delay Trigger can hold?
Is there a maximum?

Like how the lookup spreadsheet function has a maximum of 100 rows which it will lookup
Are there similar thresholds for this trigger?

Hey @zest83

Certainly, there is no limit on delay to hold.

Like how the lookup spreadsheet function has a maximum of 100 rows which it will lookup
Are there similar thresholds for this trigger?

Please explain this situation.

Suppose there are 500 individuals entering the workflow via google sheets trigger.
Next, they need to wait for another 10 days before the next trigger.
Hence the question on the delay trigger.
Will all 500 individuals move to the next trigger as per their entry time.
so if someone entered now, then after 10 seconds, then after 1 minute.
Will they move to the next step in the same order?
Or will they move to the Next Step all at once? like as a Bulk Lot?

The complete stack of data or an individual entry from Google Sheets will process the data at the same interval when it comes after delaying it.

Also, the stacking of tasks in bulk with specific periods of delay is impossible to process.

I did not understand
What do you mean?

Will all 500 individuals move to the next trigger as per their entry time.

In this particular scenario, stacking the 500 entries to delay till the subsequent execution is impossible.

So if there is a Delay Until Date .. where in 5 messages (for Cloud API) are scheduled per day for the next 1 year...
You are telling me this will FAIL?

and the Delay Trigger will not work?
Coz it is not mentioned anywhere on the trigger that Delay has a 500 entry or whatever limit
Please Clarify
If that's the case, then my workflows will stop functioning... quite a few of them!

Hey @zest83

Please clear your use case once, since from your first message this scenario is totally different.
