Slack Message Delay Timer

When an item status changes to “Complete” we employ the Slack intergration to send a message to a Slack channel. This happens immediately. We’d like a timer added to the template recipe to delay the message send for a given period, for us likely one minute. This way if the status is changed errantly the board user has some time to correct the mistake prior to message send.

hi @crenosis

Although not a direct solution, the app Delayed Status Change can help here by defining a temporary state which will change to the state used to trigger the Slack integration after a defined period (from seconds to years)

Hi Cory,

If you’re on the Enterprise Plan you can use the new Workflows feature (still being rolled out) which includes a “Delay” action. Just make sure to use the “Get Item Data” action block after the delay block to make sure it retrieves the updated data.

It could look something like this:

Best,
