Sleep step.sleep()

Use step.sleep() to pause the execution of your function for a specific amount of time.

Functions that are sleeping do not count towards concurrency limits.

export default inngest.createFunction(
  { name: "Send delayed email" },
  { event: "app/user.signup" },
  async ({ event, step }) => {
    await step.sleep("2d");
    // Do something else
  }
);

To sleep until a particular date time, use step.sleepUntil() instead.

step.sleep(duration): Promise

// Sleep for 30 minutes
await step.sleep("30m");
await step.sleep("30 minutes");
await step.sleep(30 * 60 * 1000);
