Timing

Wait

A pause.

Inputs	duration (a duration)
Outputs	none — sequencing goes through done
Configuration	duration, inputUnit: ms, s (default), min, h

The box passes no value on: wire what follows onto its done port. Stopping the run interrupts the wait cleanly.

Wait until

Waits for a specific moment.

Inputs	until
Outputs	none
Configuration	until — an ISO date or an epoch timestamp in milliseconds

A moment that has already passed triggers immediately.

Timer

Emits at a regular interval.

Inputs	frequency, cron, duration, endDate
Outputs	tick — the value emitted is the tick’s index, starting at 0
Configuration	see below

Field	Role
mode	frequency or cron
frequency + unit	Period (s, min, h)
cron	A cron expression with 5 or 6 fields
duration + durationUnit	The timer’s total active duration
endDate	Stop date

The done port carries the total number of ticks emitted.

This is the box for light load tests and periodic probes.

Now

The current moment.

Inputs	none
Outputs	value — named now, of string type
Configuration	format: datetime (ISO, the default), epoch, string

This box has no error port.

Date math

Date arithmetic and formatting.

Inputs	value, amount, other
Outputs	result

op	Effect
add	Adds amount unit to value
subtract	Subtracts
format	Formats according to format
diff	The gap between value and other, expressed in unit

unit accepts: milliseconds, seconds, minutes, hours, days, weeks, months, years.

For simple formatting inside a text field, the Handlebars helpers {{now}}, {{timestamp}} and {{formatDate}} are often enough — no box needed.
