Pause small & smart

Pause in seconds for automation rules and business processes in Bitrix24!
Short pause for Bitrix24 automation rules and business processes. Configure a precise, second-level delay for your Bitrix24 automation workflows.
The app allows you to set a pause starting fr om 1 second between automation steps: before running the next automation rule, updating a field, changing a stage, triggering another action, or resuming a business process.
Unlike the standard Bitrix24 pause, this app enables short delays - just a few seconds or minutes - as well as longer waiting times.
Key Features:

• Short pauses starting fr om 1 second.
  
• Delays configurable in seconds, minutes, and other required intervals.
  
• Fully compatible with Bitrix24 CRM automation rules.
  
• Fully compatible with Business Processes.
  
• Unified pause mechanism for both automation rules and business processes.
  
• Supports fixed duration values.
  
• Supports dynamic values from fields and variables.
  
• No coding or scripting required.
  
• Easy setup directly within the automation designer.
  

Why use a short pause?
A short pause is essential when the next automation step should not trigger instantly.
For example, use it when:

• You need to add a delay between successive automation rules.
  
• You need to wait for data to upd ate before executing the next action.
  
• You need to give another automation rule or external app time to finish processing.
  
• A delay is required before moving a deal to the next stage.
  
• Actions must be executed at specific time intervals.
  
• You need to separate consecutive actions within a business process.
  
• An integration needs to resume after a few seconds or minutes.
  
• The standard Bitrix24 pause is too long for your specific use case.
  

Pause in automation rules
Once installed, a new automation rule becomes available in your Bitrix24 CRM. Simply add this short pause to your automation chain and specify the required waiting time. Once the pause ends, the next automation rule will instantly resume execution.
It is ideal for deals, leads, and any other automation scenarios that require an exact delay between actions.
Pause in business processes
A new action for managing delays will appear inside the Business Process Designer. Use this pause before the next BP action, between consecutive workflow stages, or within complex automation scenarios.
Pause from 1 second with no 600-second lim it:

• The standard cloud-based Bitrix24 mechanism limits the minimum pause to 10 minutes.
  
• This app allows you to use much shorter intervals, such as:
  • 1 second
    
  • 2 seconds
    
  • 5 seconds
    
  • 10 seconds
    
  • 30 seconds
    
  • 1 minute
    
  • 2 minutes
    
  • 5 minutes
    

At the same time, the app is not restricted to short pauses of 1–600 seconds; you can easily configure waiting times longer than 600 seconds.
As a result, you get a single, universal waiting mechanism for both short-term and long-term automation scenarios.
Using values from fields or variables:

• The pause duration does not have to be a fixed number.
  
• If needed, the value can be pulled dynamically from Bitrix24 fields and variables, allowing you to build flexible and adaptive automation workflows.
  

How it works:

1. Install the app.
   
2. Add the new automation rule or business process action.
   
3. Specify the pause duration in seconds.
   
4. If necessary, sel ect a dynamic value fr om a field or variable.
   
5. Once the countdown finishes, the workflow automatically resumes.
   

Who is it for?
The app is highly beneficial for Bitrix24 administrators, integrators, automation developers, and companies that actively use automation rules and business processes within their CRM.
It is especially useful when you need a quick delay between automation rules, making the standard 10-minute Bitrix24 pause far too long.
Use cases:

• Pausing between two CRM automation rules.
  
• Delaying an action right before changing a stage.
  
• Waiting for a specific field to update.
  
• Waiting for another app to finish its process.
  
• Sequential execution of multiple automated actions.
  
• Delaying steps between different phases of a business process.
  
• Stabilizing complex automation sequences.
  
• Executing integration scenarios at specified intervals.
  
• Triggering the next action after just a few seconds or minutes.
  

Why it is convenient
There is no need to write code, build external webhooks, or use different delay tools for various scenarios. You get one universal short pause for Bitrix24 automation rules and business processes — starting from 1 second and with no 600-second limitations.
How it works
After installation, a new action will appear inside both the automation rules and business process builders. Simply type in the required number of seconds to wait, and the workflow will automatically proceed when the time is up.
Why choose this solution?
Unlike standard Bitrix24 features, this app allows you to se t delays with down-to-the-second precision and use a single waiting tool across all automation scenarios. No scripts, no extra configuration, and no complicated deployment — just a simple, reliable pause exactly wh ere you need it most. The solution is fully optimized to handle high-load operations smoothly.
