Hey guys, I know that MAKE only allows delays of up to 5 minutes in sleep module and 45 minutes per scenario.

I would like to create a delay of 90 minutes for an action, it is not required that it should be accurate.

I saw a couple of videos where people use Data storage to add delays where they create a new field in data storage that does this “{now} + add 90minutes” (It is a date field).

I watched 2 videos and got confused about the execution in the 2nd scenario where they search for records in the data storage. Could anyone let me know how to go about this or if there’s a better way to do this

Hi. The best solution in this case is separate the scenario in more scenarios and use a tool like Croonhooks to schedule the next steps using webhooks. So it will run at the time you need.

If you need additional support, please don’t hesitate to reach out.

Cheers
