Wait States

The Wait state ("Type": "Wait") waits either a fixed number of seconds or until some deadline is reached.

Wait states may contain either a number of seconds to wait, or a timestamp to act as the deadline.

The following fields are the valid parameters to a Wait state.

Seconds

TimestampPath

End

If set to true, the run terminates with a success after reaching this state and waiting.
