Adding Delay between Row Executions in n8n Workflow | Clay

Adding Delay between Row Executions in n8n Workflow

·

·

Hi there. How can I add a Delay in the execution of each row? n8n only let me to send 4-5 reg per second (probably I'm doing something wrong). I'd need to send a reg every 20-30 secs. is it possible? Thanks in advance

Yes, you can add delays between row executions in Clay. Here are two methods:
Method 1: Delay Columns
Insert a delay column between your enrichment columns. Each delay column creates approximately 10 seconds of pause. Stack multiple delay columns for longer delays (e.g., 2-3 delay columns for 20-30 seconds).
Method 2: Rate Limiting in HTTP API
In your HTTP API column settings, define a rate limit by setting:
Request Limit: Number of requests allowed
Duration (in ms): Time window (e.g., 30000 ms = 30 seconds)
This controls how many requests are sent within your specified timeframe. [1]
Alternative: Google Sheets Script
If using webhooks from Google Sheets, adjust the Utilities.sleep() value in your script to control timing between sends (e.g., Utilities.sleep(30000) for 30-second delays). [2]
The delay column method is typically the most straightforward for controlling execution timing in Clay workflows.
