Adding Delay to Lookup Single Row for Enrichment Completion

·
·

I'm using the lookup single row, but I need it to wait for the enrichment to finish in that row. is there a way for this lookup to wait like 10 sec before running?

    While we don't have a direct way to make the lookup wait for a specific time, we can use a conditional run to ensure the enrichment is complete before the lookup runs. Here's how: 1. Use a boolean formula to check if the enrichment has finished. 2. Set up a conditional run for your lookup single row column. For example, you could create a formula that checks if the enriched data is present, then use that in the "Only run if" section of your lookup column's settings. This approach optimizes your workflow and ensures you're getting the most relevant data for each contact. If you need help setting this up, please ask for human assistance.

    Okay I get that but can that create formula check in a different table?

    Yes, you can create a formula to check if an enrichment is complete in a different table. You can use a Lookup column to reference data from another table, and then use that information in your conditional formula. This allows you to control when an enrichment runs based on conditions in a separate table.

    So then I'm doing two lookups, seems silly. One to check if the enrichment is done and then another to see that it isn't?
