Hi, I want to delay the execution of a branch for about 4 seconds. Unfortunately the "Delay" action is not available because I am using the Free or the Standard version of Jira. Any ideas? RegardsSimon
Hi Simon,
Maybe do a couple (or 3!) Re-fetch actions in a row.
On Jira Free and Standard there is no supported way to delay a branch by a few seconds. The Delay action is simply not available on those plans. The only practical workaround is to redesign the rule so the second part runs on a separate trigger, such as a field update or status change caused by the first action, or to rely on a scheduled rule. If you truly need an exact time delay, upgrading to a plan that includes the Delay action is the only native solution.
There is no need to redesign and create a second rule. This can be achieved by using Re-fetch actions.
Hi @Simon Huprich
What problem are you trying to solve by adding the delay of 4 seconds? Knowing that may help the community offer better suggestions.
Until we know that...
You could use the Send Web Request action to call a public REST API endpoint to provide the delay. Remember to select the option in the action to wait for the response before continuing.
Kind regards,Bill
Hi @John FunkThanks!3 Re-fetch actions combined with some edit and delete actions did the trick. RegardsSimon
Great - glad to hear! And you are welcome!
