Timer nodes set time periods during which the workflow pauses and records are not processed. You can use basic timers to set timeframes, or conditional timers to specify conditions to be met during a timeframe.
Use timer nodes with any action node to ensure that accounts remain in that action node for a specified wait time. For example, you can push accounts to a 6sense Display Ads Campaign Node and follow it with a timer node configured to wait for 10 days. This causes accounts to be served ads for 10 days before the workflow moves on to the next action.
Types of timer nodes include:
Basic timers
Wait for a specific amount of time
Wait until a specific date or time
Conditional timer
Conditions and time settings are met
Basic timer nodes
Wait for a specific amount of time node
The Wait for a specific amount of time node specifies a time frame (in days, hours, and minutes) while the workflow pauses before proceeding to the next node.
Dependencies
A timer node must be preceded by an action node.
Properties
Node Label: A brief description that displays on the node’s icon.
Description: A lengthier description of what the node does.
Days, Hours, Minutes: The elapsed time of the wait period.
Wait until a specific date or time node
The Wait until a specific date or time node specifies an exact date until which the workflow pauses before proceeding to the next node.
Dependencies
A timer node must be preceded by an action node.
Properties
Node Label: A brief description that displays on the node’s icon.
Description: A lengthier description of what the node does.
Date, Time: The date and time when the workflow proceeds to the next node.
Conditional timer node
Wait until conditions and time settings are met node
The Wait until conditions and time settings are met node specifies conditions that accounts must meet before a specified time frame expires and the workflow proceeds. It is like a decision node, with an added timer.
If an account meets the conditions during the timeframe, it proceeds to the next node in the workflow. If the timeframe expires before an account meets the conditions, then the account can either exit processing or proceed on another branch of the workflow.
Dependencies
A timer node must be preceded by an action node.
Properties
Node Label: A brief description that displays on the node’s icon.
Description: A lengthier description of what the node does.
Choose a timeframe:
Within this timeframe: the Days, Hours, and Minutes.
At this specific data and time: the Date and Time.
Add Condition: Opens the Edit Condition panel, for specifying filters and filter logic.
The When conditions are met within the chosen timeframe setting is a label for main path.
The When no conditions are met within the chosen timeframe option is either:
Do Nothing: No further processing occurs for these accounts.
Add Another Branch: Specify a label for another branch.
