The wait for event Shopify flow card is used to delay the execution of your workflow until a specific event occurs. This can be useful in various situations, like waiting for a customer to complete a specific action before proceeding to the next step in the flow triggers. This can help you streamline your business processes and improve the customer experience.

Here is an example of how you might use the wait for event Shopify flow card in the workflow.

• A customer places an order in your store.
• The workflow is triggered, and the wait for an event card is triggered. The workflow is configured to wait for 3 days to pass, after the order was placed.
• After 3 days, the specified event occurs, and the workflow continues.
• The action flow cards that follow the wait for event card, are executed, such as sending the order shipping update to the users.
