Takeaway: Google announced the rollout of a Wait until step in Workspace Studio from November 9, 2026. It pauses a flow before its next action. The official announcement in the Workspace Updates feed specifies a 1–3-day rollout for Rapid Release and Scheduled Release; access may not appear immediately.
Who benefits
Small teams already using Studio for reminders or post-meeting sequences. The new step keeps an action and its delayed continuation in one flow. It controls automation timing, not the accuracy of AI-generated content.
Pause limits
Google’s help page sets a maximum of 14 days. The specific-day-and-time mode allows 0–13 days ahead, a time and a time zone. Other options are a day next week or a duration in hours, minutes or seconds. Do not use this step for reminders months ahead.
Google lists Business Starter, Standard and Plus among the eligible editions. There is no separate administrator control for the new step. The Activity tab shows the scheduled resume time and time zone.
Before using it
Editorial guidance: first create a test internal reminder without customer data. Check the time zone, expected continuation time and actual Activity record. Before an external email, also check the recipient and whether the message still applies: circumstances may have changed during the pause.
Nadali has not tested the feature in a work account or measured time savings. Our time-zone guide can help teams decide whose local time governs the schedule.
