Sleep step.sleep()

Use step.sleep() to pause your function's execution for a specified duration. This is useful for adding delays between steps, such as waiting before sending a follow-up email or polling an external service at intervals.

step.sleep(id, duration): Promise

• id (string): The ID of the step. This will be what appears in your function's logs and is used to memoize step state across function versions.

• duration (number | string | Temporal.Duration): The duration of time to sleep:number of millisecondsstring compatible with the ms package, e.g. "30m", "3 hours", or "2.5d"Temporal.Duration

// Sleep for 30 minutes
const thirtyMins = Temporal.Duration.from({ minutes: 30 });
await step.sleep("wait-with-temporal", thirtyMins);

await step.sleep("wait-with-string", "30m");
await step.sleep("wait-with-string-alt", "30 minutes");
await step.sleep("wait-with-ms", 30 * 60 * 1000);

Callout: step.sleep() must be called using await or some other Promise handler to ensure your function sleeps correctly.
