There is no good way to delay the time between the trigger and the action in automations. I can only place triggers based on due date and start date. Another useful option would be "trigger action X time before end date" or "trigger action X time before start date".

Would be nice if we could include a "waiting period" on automations. If someone realizes they accidentally were triggering an automation, essentially giving some time to "undo". Or, if someone is making a lot of changes at once and clicking around a bunch, having certain automations that send notifications wait until they settle on a choice would reduce the notification overload.

For instance, we have an automation that sends an email to a person every time the status of the task changes. We've found that some folks like to filter through all the status options with the button circled in orange on my attachment. Our current options are:

Both are time intensive, but option 2 makes automation management more bulky so we're going with option 1 for now. Automation options to delay the trigger and check again in 5 minutes that the automation criteria is still met would be and ideal fix.

I'd really love to be able to pause the time it takes for an action to be triggered off of an automation. I use automations to email notifcations to people, but, I'm often working at odd hours and don't want the notification to go out until the morning. I'd love to be able to pause the action for a specified period of time or otherwise specify when the action happens (next day at 8am in timezone, for example).
