Suspending workflows with the Delay activity

The Delay activity suspends a workflow for a predetermined time. For example, an administrator uses a Delay activity to suspend a workflow, enabling a third-party application to process a command before the workflow continues to an activity requiring that the processing be complete.

The Delay activity is available to all Multimedia Contact Center workflows.
