Practical Examples
Wait between requests
[HTTP Request: POST /start-job]
│
▼
[Wait: 10000ms]
│
▼
[HTTP Request: GET /job-status]
Polling until completion
[HTTP Request: POST /process]
│
▼
[Wait Until: {{ steps.checkStatus.outputs.json.status }} === "done"]
│ Interval: 5000ms, Timeout: 120000ms
▼
[If: conditionMet]
│ true → [Log: "Processamento concluído"]
│ false → [Log: "Timeout!"] → [Stop and Fail]
Tips
- Use duration for simple waits (e.g., waiting for propagation)
- Use until condition for polling (checking status periodically)
- Always set a timeout in "until" mode to avoid infinite waits
