-
Adding a Wait
-
This is a time delay, meaning how long you want to wait before the next step starts (goes in between steps to work)
-
-
But since it's an appointment workflow, we typically will change the time delay option to “Event / Appointment Time”
-
This will look at the booked appointment time and create a waiting period concerning it.
-
-
For appointment schedules to workflows, we use this type of wait step. Now you can select, before the appointment or after the appointment.
-
You can choose any of the custom amounts of months, days, hours, and minutes (Seen Below)
-
-
In this example: We selected 3 days - Make sure you fill out the type/amount you’re waiting for in the “Action Name” option
-
This helps keep the workflow organized and easy to understand
-
-
Select “Save Action”
-
You now have created a wait step that will take place before the next step!
-
For example: If you wanted to send the client another reminder after the “Wait” - in this case (3 days) - Repeat the #1 steps listed at the top of the document
