What is required for the flow to pause based on set conditions?

For a flow to pause based on set conditions, both a duration and a defined schedule are necessary. The duration indicates how long the flow should remain paused, providing a time-based condition for resuming actions. This is particularly useful when certain processes need to wait before continuing, such as allowing time for an approval or external process to complete.

On the other hand, a defined schedule helps determine when the flow should resume or when specific conditions apply, allowing for pausing the flow based on predefined business hours or specific dates/times. When combined, these components enable flexibility and control over the flow execution, ensuring that the flow only continues under the appropriate conditions.

While duration alone sets a time limit for the pause, and a defined schedule indicates specific timing without a duration, having both together ensures a comprehensive approach to controlling the flow's execution in alignment with business needs. Thus, this combination is essential for effectively managing when and for how long the flow pauses.
