Pause block

The "Pause" block is used to stop the dialog for a while or to wait for the status of a message. This is useful when you want to remind yourself to chat with a client after some time or when the client reads the message.

The "Pause" block can operate in one of the following modes: By status, By time expiration, Date and time.

By status

In this mode, the dialog will move to the next block only when the message gets the "Delivered" or "Read" status. Otherwise, the dialog will be paused.

There are no statuses in TelegramBot, so the "By statuses" pause will not work in TelegramBot.

When time expires

In this mode, the transition to the next block will only happen when the time you specify has expired. You can set:

  • seconds;
  • minutes;
  • hours;
  • days.

You can enter the amount of these manually.

If the time specified in the “Pause” block is shorter than in the “Auto-close dialog” block, then the pause will not work. The pause must always exceed the Auto-Close Wait Time.

Date and Time

In this mode, the Pause block pauses until a specific date and supports 24 time zones. The mode supports all popular date and time formats. You can fill in the field manually or using a button  .
