Pause between rule 1 and rule 2 Mon Apr 13, 2020 5:10 am • by PeterSchulze
Hello,
is it possible to insert a pause of about 30 seconds or 1 minute between rule 1 (print a PDF) and rule 2 (move the PDF)?
So that the printing process can be completed.
With kind regards
Peter Schulze

Do these need to be in separate rules or can they be actions in the same rule?

Yes, they can be actions in the same rule.

If they are in the same rule, you can add a Run shellscript action in between that has the following:
Code: Select all
sleep 5


That will pause for 5 seconds. Modify as needed.
