Scheduling block

How to use Wait For Time & Follow Up Later

Pauses work until a defined time or schedules the next touch without making the workflow busy-wait.

Why use it

Use it to create deliberate spacing between helpful follow-ups.

02
In context

Picture this

A prospect who misses a call receives one SMS two hours later during business hours, not three messages immediately.

03
Build it

Set it up

  1. Choose the delay or time window and confirm the time zone.
  2. Check that a later message still makes sense before sending it.
  3. Add a stop condition for a reply, booking, or DND request.
  4. Keep the sequence short and easy for a person to understand.
04
Keep moving

What comes next

After this block, use an SMS, Email, Outbound Call, or Decision that checks whether follow-up is still needed.

05
Choose carefully

Avoid this when…

Avoid it for urgent work that needs a person now.
