# Smart Delay The smart delay step is a powerful feature that enables you to delay the execution of the next step based on a specific date and time. This allows you to schedule actions or messages based on predetermined timing criteria. For example, if you want to send a feedback survey message two days after the order delivery date, you can set up a smart delay step, and after the specified duration, the next configured step will be executed. --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
