The Sleep activity (automatic) is used to delay a job for a specific period of time.

At runtime, the sleep activity makes the job wait for the specified amount of time. For example, in an event map, which is triggered when a COM call fails to send an email, you can configure the Sleep activity to set the job to sleep for 60 seconds before attempting to send the email again.

The duration of a Sleep activity is short with a maximum of 60 minutes.
