How is Zapier addressing this? Zapier wants to hear from you 
miscEye icon Note

This information was accurate at the time of publication. Please check out the latest product update notes for any updates or changes.

In a previous update, we informed you about potential issues with the Delay app, particularly with short delays. This meant that occasionally delays resulted in longer-than-expected delays in Zaps. 

How is Zapier addressing this?

To address these, we initially considered a validation rule that would set a minimum of 1 minute.

However, we understand that short delays are crucial for many workflows. To ensure the best possible solution, we’re exploring alternative approaches that better meet your needs.

Zapier wants to hear from you 

We’d love to hear from you!

If you regularly use delays shorter than one minute, in your Zaps, please share your use cases with us in this Zapier form. Your input will help us improve the Delay app and ensure it consistently meets your needs.
