wfa.executeWait

This action waits (sleeps) for a while and then ends successfully.

Use cases

• Pause between two actions
• Simulate a more human type of behaviour between two actions
• Make use of settings, variables and instructions to make the wait interval random or based on context

Parameters

1: wait

wait: "number of seconds"

• Define the number of seconds to wait
  • Wait 10 seconds: 10
  • Wait 2 seconds: 2
  • Etc.
• you can include any function that is resolved by the framework including settings, variables and instructions. The only constraint is that the output needs to be a number to define the number of seconds to wait.
  • Wait between 1 and 5 seconds:
  • Wait amount of seconds as defined in input parameter seconds: #seconds#
  • Wait amount of seconds as stores in the runtime variable seconds_lookup: #seconds_lookup#
• if no value is provided, the wait interval will be set to 0
