# Wait [Action]

**"Waiting"** on an action or function is a fundamental concept in time-based logic, allowing developers to introduce intentional pauses within a sequence of actions. This is also known as delaying execution of logic, where the execution of a sequence of actions is paused for a specified period. This action is particularly useful when there is a need to synchronize events, manage the timing of operations, or ensure that certain conditions are met before proceeding further in a workflow.
The **Wait** action is used to pause the execution of a workflow for a specific amount of time. This is helpful when you want to delay the next step in a sequence, for example, to synchronize events, allow animations to complete, or ensure a condition is met before continuing. It’s a key concept in managing time-based logic within action flows.

## Delayed Execution of Logic
Delaying execution of logic involves pausing the execution of a sequence of actions for a specified period. This is useful when you need to introduce a time delay before proceeding to the next step in a workflow or process.

## Use-cases

- When you need to wait for a certain condition to be met (e.g., waiting for data to load or a
user to complete an action).
- To create pauses between actions for better user experience (e.g., displaying messages
sequentially).
- Waiting before performing an animation.

## How to?

To implement a Wait Action in your Action Flows, follow this simple tutorial:
:::tip[Possible use cases]
- **Show Splash Screen:** Delay the transition to the next page to allow the splash screen to be visible for a few seconds.
- **Step-by-Step Tutorials:** Introduce timed delays between steps to guide users through a tutorial or onboarding flow.
- **Chain Animations:** Add pauses between multiple animations for a more fluid and organized visual effect.
