Wait for duration activity is not waiting for the date field in flow designer

[ranjanak]

Hi All,

I have used wait for duration in flow to make the flow wait for certain duration based on the date field(dot walking from another table). But the flow is not waiting and its getting executed immediately.

I have tried both duration type as percentage duration as well as Relative duration.

Can some one help to resolve the issue.

Any help is really appreciated. Thanks!

Hi @ranjanak ,

Can you show us a screenshot of your wait for duration action please?

Thanks

@ranjanak 

your flow can only wait based on the field etc on the current record and not on other record update.

You will require some hidden field on your current table and make flow wait till that field is set.

Then on the other table write after update business rule and set this field so that flow proceeds.

If my response helped please mark it correct and close the thread so that it benefits future readers.

Hi @Ankur Bawiskar ,

Thanks for your reply. The field in other table will set initially and it will not be updated in middle of the flow.
