The "Wait before running another action" action has the ability to wait a predefined amount of time before running the next action / condition in the command / event builder.

## Wait Time

The Wait Time field represents the amount of seconds the bot will wait before running the next block. This field accepts only a plain integer and the max amount of seconds it can wait is 850. [Variables](/custom-commands-and-events/variables.md) can be used as well.
