# Waiting

Waiting allows you to pause a workflow mid-execution and then resume with the same data. This is useful for rate limiting calls to a service or waiting for an external event to complete. You can wait for a specified duration or until a webhook fires.

Uses the [Wait](/guides/automated-workflows/integrations/builtin/core-nodes/ts-wf-nodes-base.wait) node to enable workflow waiting. Refer to the  for usage details.
