Wait for Duration during a schedule

[tphillips]

Obviously I am not understanding the "Wait for a duration" flow logic in Flow Designer. 

Here is what I am trying to do:

• During M-F, 8-5 allow the flow to run without delay.
• All other times, wait for 10 mins.

I have tried setting up a schedule to no success.  It either waits 10 mins or waits until the scheduled and then 10 mins.

Any good examples out there?

Thank you!

Hi Tom,

The "Wait for duration" during a schedule will stop a timer progressing until the amount of time has progressed, during the schedule. e.g. if you asked it to wait 10 minutes on a saturday, it would wait until Monday morning, then 10 minutes.

I've accomplished what you are trying to do by creating a "Is Time In Schedule?" action, which takes the input of a date/time (normally Flow Start Time, or gs.Now()) and returning a true/false. If TRUE, run the next step, ELSE, pause for 10 minutes, then run the next step.

I'm sorry I don't have the code handy for that action, but a community search should help you find out how to do it.

Regards,

Andrew

Thank you, Andrew.  I found your other post and implemented it in my flow.
