Having Trouble Adding a Delay in Copilot Studio

(1) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by Tyler_Andrew 4
Hello,
 
I am trying to add a delay into my Copilot bot in order to slow down the response time of a specific action. 

According to this article: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-copilot-studio/authoring-send-event-activities#sending-other-activity-types
 

When I try to add an "Invoke Activity" and set the data accordingly I get this error:
 
How can I get around this in order to add a delay? I know I could call a flow that has a delay in it but I would rather not have to do that and would like to get it working within Copilot Studio itself.
 
Thanks!

    Seems that the type is missing in the dropdown. I would have expected it as an option over there. Have you tried using the code editor to add this type instead?
     
    Like you mentioned, a workaround would be to use a flow with a delay instead.

    You will have to use call a action option and create a power automate flow. Thanks.
