The documents in this section discuss the core triggers and actions in Flux.

The Delay Trigger is needed when you want to wait for a certain amount of time, unlike a timer trigger, which fires on a set schedule. The DelayTrigger is particularly useful in default error handlers where you need to pause for a time before retrying a particular action.

The following attributes are available for configuration on a DelayTrigger:

• The count describes how many times the delay trigger will fire before it expires.
• The delay time expression specifies either the amount of time the delay trigger will wait.
• The expiration flow indicates the flow the timer trigger will take when it expires (the count reach 0).
• The expiration time expression specifies the time that a delay trigger will expire.

Results

The Delay Trigger returns its result in the flow context variable "result". The result contains a boolean indicating whether the trigger has expired. You can access the result from the following field:

Passing Results with a Runtime Data Map

You can use a Runtime Data Map to copy the result field into a new variable (for future reference or to reuse the data later in the workflow).

To copy the result, you can use a data map like:
