Delay

Introduction

The delay feature allows for adding wait time while executing the bot. It waits for a specified amount of time before proceeding to the next activity. 

This functionality is particularly useful for scenarios where synchronization or pacing between automated actions is necessary, ensuring a smooth and controlled workflow.

Benefits

Synchronization: Delay can be used to synchronize actions in a process, ensuring that one action completes before the next one starts. This is particularly useful when dealing with applications or systems that require a specific response time between interactions.

 Error Handling: Introducing delays can help manage exceptions and errors that may occur during automation. For example, a delay can give time for a system to respond before proceeding with error handling routines.

 Human Emulation: By incorporating delays, RPA bots can mimic human behavior more accurately. Humans don’t always perform actions instantly; they often pause between tasks, and delays can simulate this natural behavior.

System Performance: Delays can be used to manage system performance issues, such as preventing overload or reducing the load on target systems by spacing out interactions.
