Hi everyone,
I’m looking for advice on how to add a random wait time between steps in a workflow. I want to introduce variability in the process not with wait fixed values or wait until.
Thanks in advance for your support.
Regards,
Paolo
Hi Paolo,
As far as I know there is no OOTB random generator.
My best bet would be to use the HTTP Action to call an external API that generates the random value and then use it in the Wait step.
The external API can be one that you manage or a public one such as https://www.randomnumberapi.com/ depending on your requirements (criticity, privacy, availability etc.)

There is so much variation in the platform already with processing times etc, can I ask what is the use case that you are hoping to solve that a fixed wait time won’t solve?
There is a random number function available in transforms but I don’t think its exposed in workflow, I would have to agree with @davidtrn that an external call to get a number might be the only way if its something that is really needed.
Would be a useful function to have available in workflow though
