How it works

WAIT_FOR_EVENT pauses a Workflow until a communication event happens — such as a sent email being opened or a link being clicked — or until a timeout elapses. Wire in the internalCorrelationId (the tracking ID emitted by an earlier SEND_MAIL or messaging node), and configure the event to wait for plus a timeout via time and timeUnit (MINUTE, HOUR, DAY, MONTH, YEAR). The node snapshots and suspends execution; when the event arrives the Workflow resumes with result: true, or result: false if the timer expires first. See Wait & resume for how suspended executions are stored and revived.

Example

Scenario: Send a follow-up only if the recipient hasn't opened the first email within two days.

1. A SEND_MAIL node sends the campaign and emits a tracking/correlation ID.
2. Add a WAIT_FOR_EVENT node. Wire that ID into internalCorrelationId, set the event to the email-opened event, and set time = 2, timeUnit = DAY.
3. Branch on result: if false (no open before the timeout) send a reminder; if true, skip it.
