Wait & Timing

Sleep block

Pauses execution for a fixed number of seconds.

Purpose

Use Sleep for animations, lazy loading, throttling, or websites that do not expose a reliable selector or text readiness signal.

How it works

  • Pauses the graph for the configured duration.
  • Always continues to the next block when the timer finishes.
  • Does not inspect page state.

DurationYes-Seconds to wait.

Usage notes

  • Prefer Wait for Element or Wait for Text when possible.
  • Keep sleeps short during testing so broken selectors fail quickly.
  • Use longer sleeps sparingly on pages with known delayed rendering.
