I have started to make use of Expressions and API nodes calling back to the FS API to overcome limitations in functionality of the Workflow automations engine.

Looking at the rate limits though I am hoping to include some sensitivity into my flows to prevent rate limits.

 

The timer node appears to be limited to fixed integers, and I don’t see an obvious opportunity to use a placeholder, variable, or some other form of random integer.

Is such a random delay possible? How would I got about this?

I considered using branching conditions with various checks and various fixed timer nodes at each check that would kind of space it out a bit i guess… But without looping flows… It’d start to get messy and hard to follow when all its doing is injecting a random delay.

The Timer node doesn’t allow you to add in placeholders, but that would be a useful feature, without having to resort to using conditional nodes and making the workflow larger, repeating the same actions for multiple branches timer lengths.

 

Can this be added as a feature request?

Check the idea section, it’s where all feature requested get added by the community.
