Use Wait for Condition to Pause a Workflow Until Ready
Wait for Condition pauses a workflow until a tag, field, or stage changes, so follow-up reacts to real behavior, not a timer.
Watch the 33-second version
Pause a Workflow Until a Condition Is Met
Wait for Condition holds a contact in your workflow until a tag, field, or stage changes, so follow-up reacts to real behavior.
Watch it on its own page, with the transcript.
The Wait for Condition action pauses a workflow until something specific happens, instead of waiting a fixed number of hours or days. You choose a condition, such as a tag being added, a custom field changing, or an opportunity moving to a certain stage, and the workflow holds the contact there until that condition becomes true.
This matters because most follow-up sequences guess at timing. A generic wait-two-days step fires whether or not the lead already replied, booked, or paid. Wait for Condition lets the workflow react to what actually happened, so a contact who books a call skips the next few follow-up texts instead of getting them anyway.
Always pair the condition with a maximum wait time. Without one, a contact who never meets the condition sits in that step indefinitely, and you lose visibility into where they got stuck. Give the wait a ceiling, then branch into a fallback action for anyone who times out.
How to use it
- Open Automation > Workflows and select the workflow to edit.
- Click the plus icon and add the Wait for Condition action.
- Pick the condition: tag added, custom field value, or opportunity stage.
- Set a maximum wait duration so contacts cannot get stuck.
- Add a fallback action for contacts who time out before meeting the condition.
