    Hi,
     

    If You Want to Wait Based on a Variable

    • For example, if you have a variable %waitTime%:

    1. Make sure %waitTime% is assigned to an integer or decimal value somewhere earlier in your flow.

    2. In the Wait action with fx ON, type:

      %waitTime%

     This will wait for whatever number of seconds is in %waitTime%.

    Note: Use variable

    If I have answered your question, please mark it as the preferred solution ✅ . If you like my response, please give it a Thumbs Up 👍.
