Last published at: August 6th, 2025

Description:

This step waits for the mentioned date and time and executes the next step.

 

Inputs

  • waitDateTime – Wait till
  • timeZone - select time zone
 

 

Returns

  • True – step executed successfully
  • False – step failed to execute 
 

 

Usage:

 

 

Example:

Let’s build and execute the “waitForDateTimeDef” example.          

  • Create a new process definition called “waitForDateTimeDef” and open the definition in designer mode. 
  • Drag a “waitForDateTime” and “placeHolder” step to the canvas.
  • Connect the dots between the “Start” and other steps, as shown above 
  • Click the “waitForDateTime” step to configure its “Required” properties. Provide a name for the step. Configure the wait date and time. Click the Save button. Note: Click the "AI Predict" button for the Copilot to add new process steps that match your process description. 

 

  • Click the “waitForDateTime” step to configure its “Required” properties. Select the time zone from the dropdown list. Click the Save button. 

 

  • The “Logging” setting configuration is necessary for documentation and also measures the workflow progress and the percent complete. This is achieved by configuring the step state and percent fields individually, as shown in the images below. Configure the “Logging” using the following properties.

 

  • Save the process definition, create a new instance, and execute it. Render the process instance. At the wait step, the process instance is “sleeping.” It sleeps until the configured date and time and then executes the next step.  

 

Definition Sample:

You may download the sample definition(s) from the link here and later import them (drag-and-drop) to your FlowWright Process Definition (XML file) or Form Definition (HTML file) page. 

Note: Please verify and complete the process steps for any missing configurations, such as file path references and database connections, after import. Then, save the definition to confirm the changes.
