Workflow Delay not actually delaying

[Patrick Burleson]

Hello there,

 

I have a workflow that opens several apps, then opens a few URLS. Between the "Open URL" actions, I have a "Delay" action between each that should last for several seconds, but is not delaying at all as far as I can tell. The help for the command is also a bit confusing: 

 

"Schedules this workflow stream to continue execution after specified sections. This also yields execution back to the workflow." 

 

That second sentence is confusing to me. It seems to imply my workflow actually won't stop for the delay.

@Patrick Burleson Yielding execution means if there are multiple streams coming from one object, the next stream down will continue while the first one waits. If you take a look at the Workflow Editor > [+] > Getting Started > Stream Order, it will explain how stream execution order works, including delay.

 

If you share your workflow, it'd be easier to see what's going on

 

Cheers,

Andrew
