About This Workflow
Wait Workflow
This workflow demonstrates the functionality of the Wait node in n8n. It allows you to pause the execution of your workflow for a predetermined amount of time before proceeding to the next steps. This is useful for scenarios like rate limiting API calls, scheduling tasks, or creating delays between different stages of your automation.
The workflow begins with a manual trigger. It then proceeds to calculate the wait time based on certain conditions (e.g., message length in the get wait seconds node). A Redis set operation is used to mark a 'waiting_reply' status, and the WaitSeconds node then pauses the workflow for the calculated duration. After the wait, it checks if a 'waiting_reply' flag is still active and proceeds accordingly, potentially deleting temporary data from Redis.
Key Features
- Manually triggerable workflow.
- Dynamic wait time calculation based on input data.
- Use of Redis for managing state ('waiting_reply', 'buffer').
- Pauses workflow execution using the
Waitnode. - Conditional logic to manage post-wait actions.
- Cleanup of temporary data in Redis.
How To Use
- Import this workflow into your n8n instance.
- Configure Redis Credentials: Ensure you have a Redis connection set up and provide the necessary credentials in the Redis nodes (marked with 'YOUR_CREDENTIAL_HERE').
- Configure OpenAI Credentials: If the workflow involves AI processing, ensure your OpenAI API key is configured.
- Trigger: Execute the workflow manually by clicking the 'Test workflow' button.
- Observe: Monitor the execution flow, noting the pause introduced by the
WaitSecondsnode.
