17 Nov 2025: The Wait card

Marije Updated by Marije

Recently we released  wait(), a new DSL expression that gives you precise control over timing in your Journeys. Now Wait is available as a Journey card.

Wait is particularly valuable for:

  • Slow network conditions: When users are on limited data connections, file uploads and downloads can take significantly longer. Wait ensures your journey adapts to their reality, not your ideal scenario.
  • Sequential messaging: Guarantee that your messages arrive in the intended order, maintaining the narrative flow and preventing confusion.
  • Avoid rate-limits & failures: when you have journeys that send a lot of messages quickly, to avoid having your messages blocked by Meta, you can now introduce artificial delays between them

How it works

When building a Journey, add the Wait block and type in the number of seconds you'd like the pause to be (using the arrow keys will also change the number). Keep in mind that the wait needs to be at least 1 second, capped at 10 seconds. And, only whole seconds are allowed (no 1.5 seconds, for example).
