Required function: Enter the seconds combination in delay

Good evening, I realized that if I receive multiple iterations at the same time before they are recorded, the counter number entered with a mathematical function (not with the counter function) at the end of the recording shows the same number. Therefore put 1 minute late and a real exaggeration.

Could you kindly insert the seconds field in the delay function?

Thank you,
Joseph

Great solution @Fagun Shah thanks. (y)

However, I prefer Pabbly to intervene with an answer.

By using your solution, the delay becomes paid for me.

Using the standard delay, hoping they add the delay in seconds and for free.

The delay module in pabbly connect is not free task. It uses 1 task.

They already mentioned in the past that they have no plans to add it, that was the reason I went for this solution.

Hey @Fagun Shah ,

You're right, I didn't notice that.

Anyway, I'm waiting for pabbly @Supreme , if the seconds are integrated in a short time, I will certainly use your solution.

N.B. I agreed to follow youtube channel, I saw that you have USEFUL ideas. ;)

Hey @Fagun Shah and @Supreme ,

Found the solution in an extremely simple way since the delay function does not currently allow the application of the delay in seconds.

Hoping I don't violate any rules, I share the FUNCTIONAL example.

It's very simple

1. Create action with current date and time.
2. Reformat the date and time to use the delay function.
3. Add the increased time, for example I put 10 seconds.
4. Enter the delay function with the date and time modified by an additional 10 seconds.

Hoping I don't violate any rules, I share the FUNCTIONAL example.

Pabbly Connect delay until does not consider Seconds part of the the time.

It will be the minute change kind of delay only.

Yes, you are right @Fagun Shah , after so many attempts I gave up.

I am implementing your function, many thanks.

For @Supreme this is really a limit, because in the forum I found other posts open for this second sitation.

Why should the seconds function be implemented, maybe even with a value 1, value 2 and value 3.

It's simple to allow whoever enters the workflow to finish the entire process before the second one who enters, perhaps a few seconds later, is assigned the same values which in theory should be unique.

Overtaking you in a few seconds allows processing, but does not give time to those who enter before completing the path and recording the values, the operation number or the progressive ID number.

Hey @amicici

As we have already told you that you can choose the delay to be no less than one minute. We don't support specifying a delay in seconds.

Further, if you need any assistance with your workaround then we strongly advise working with an automation specialist who can create such a workflow.

@Supreme, You have been very clear.

Pabbly are not interested in producing a function in terms of seconds.

Fortunately he intervened, with @Fagun Shah , which I thank very much with which I solved the problem for free and in a few minutes.

Thank you very much, over and out!

@Supreme - why wouldn't you support a delay in seconds? Some APIs we query have rate limits in seconds. Why wouldn't you support something that's very useful?...

At present, the Delay action step is limited to time intervals such as minutes, hours, days, and weeks. Consequently, configuring delay action steps in seconds is not currently supported.
