Hi @PytByt ,
Firstly, here is the Timer Control Reference - so I will go through a few of the things that will help you.
Duration - that is easy so you new 30,000 milliseconds on each one.
OnTimerEnd - you run your flow here
Start - determines when a Timer starts. Set this to a Variable (vStart1 for the first one will do), then set the variable to true when you want the timer to start.
UpdateContext({vStart1:true})
So set the next Variable (vStart2) at OnTimerEnd after the Patch on the first one and continue as above with the next one.

Hi @WarrenBelz

Thanks for the reply,
I still confused here since i haven't play with timer control, how exactly timer control do i need?
And, do you have the example formula reference that i can refer to?

Thanks,

Hi @PytByt ,
Sorry for the late replay. Use your own names for the items in blue
You need one timer each for all but the last one - I will do four as per your specs below
Patch Data 1 and set Variable1 in same code
Timer 1 Start set to Variable1 - and Duration to 30000 (30 seconds)
Timer 1 OnTimerEnd - Patch Data 2 and set Variable2 in same code
Timer 2 Start set to Variable2 - and Duration to 30000 (30 seconds)
Timer 2 OnTimerEnd - Patch Data 3 and set Variable3 in same code
Timer 3 Start set to Variable3 - and Duration to 30000 (30 seconds)
Timer 3 OnTimerEnd - Patch Data 4 (that is the end if this is the last one.)

Hi @WarrenBelz

Thanks for the reply.

That was exactly what i did! #lol
I've been creative in OnTimerEnd properties even though it was not beautiful. But it works just fine.

Much obliged.
