Dynamic wait time

Use a dynamic time period in a wait node to set a custom wait time with Jinja. This is also called dynamic wait time or custom wait time. Bloomreach calculates the wait time individually for each customer who passes through the wait node.

In the calculation, you can use project metrics, aggregates, trigger event attributes, or any type of personalization.

Spread or throttle campaign sends

A typical use of dynamic wait time is to spread or throttle campaign execution over a time period with the random number generator. For example, to spread the send over about 60 minutes, use:

{{ range(0,60) | random }}

Round wait times in hours

If you set the wait time in hours, Bloomreach rounds the number down to an integer. For example, a calculated wait of 1.8 hours waits only 1 hour.

To round up, use the Jinja round filter. It accepts the ceil, floor, or common method:

Wait {{ ((event.departure_time - time) / 3600) | round(method="ceil") }} hours

Zero or negative wait times

If the wait value is zero or lower, the wait node doesn't wait. The next node runs right away.
