Add a "Wait a specific time interval" step in a workflow

After creating your automation workflow, you have the option to add time intervals at any intersection. In Moosend, you can use the Wait a specific time interval step in your workflow. They are useful control steps, especially if your automation contains several actions that send emails to your recipients. Time intervals provide breathing space between the different actions in your automation workflow.
