Can HTTP API Requests in Clay be Delayed for Webhook Completion?

Hey, quick question regarding HTTP API in clay. Is it possible to delay the request by sometime for all enrichment to be completed before the webhook is posted? I'm looking at the request limit and duration (in ms) would this be the place to add such delay? Thanks!

Yes, you can use the Request Limit and Duration (in ms) settings to control the timing of HTTP API requests. Here's how it works: 1. In the HTTP API settings, you can set: • Request Limit: The number of allowed requests • Duration: The time window in milliseconds The duration should be set to roughly match the time your data takes to enrich. You may need to experiment with different values to find the optimal timing. Important notes: ** The duration must be between 1 and 900,000 milliseconds ** The rate limit must average at least 5 requests per second to work properly * The minimum duration cannot be less than 100ms (as this would exceed Clay's webhook throughput limit of 10/second)
