Wait For Condition Time Extensions

EllisonHolt

Hi All, I was wondering if anyone else has an issue with 'wait for condition' in their automation with them being to short. With a max wait time as 5 working days (or 7 including weekends) i personally think this is too short. For my automations, sometimes i need longer than the max time for my automations to work. I understand i can automate this by activities being completed by a specific task name, but that takes up too many automation slots on my account. Does anyone have any tips about alternative ways this can be fixed or maybe the devs can see this post and increase it? I'm not sure but i hope this can be extended!

Thanks!😁

Hi @EllisonHolt,

Thanks so much for this feedback, I would be happy to pass this along internally! At this time, it's unfortunately not possible to extend the wait for condition time limit. However, feel free to suggest this in the ideas and product feedback section of the Community so other users can upvote your idea as well!

As you mentioned, as a workaround, depending on what your automation accomplishes, you may be able to create additional/new automations that trigger in place of where you would have this wait for condition step if the delay time is not enough for what you are trying to accomplish.

Thank you! I will make the post now :)

Our process is a little complicated to be completly honest so we rely on wait for condition a lot, so if this could be extended in the future it would be a massive help for us!

Thanks for the response.

Is it possible to have several 'Wait for Condition' steps one after another? Let's say I need to wait 30 days for a condition. Could I put 4 'wait for condition' steps of 7 days each plus a last one of 2 days?

@ma_wove i don't think so. If the first 'Wait for Condition' expires the other 4 will not continue as when the first one expires the automations stop. We just need the time limit to be increased on the 'Wait for Condition'. But i like the idea 😊
