Headline and summary, read by a synthetic voice.

What changed: Google Workspace Studio flows gained a new 'Wait until' step that lets a flow pause at any point in its execution, including inside Check if branches and Repeat for each loops, then automatically resume either at a specified future date and time or after a set duration of up to 14 days. While paused, the Activity tab logs the scheduled resume timestamp and time zone.

Who is affected

Customers on Business Starter, Standard, and Plus; Enterprise Standard and Plus; Education Fundamentals, Standard, and Plus; plus certain Education and other add-on plans that include Workspace Studio.

What it means for your business

For businesses using Workspace Studio, this means multi-day sequences like a follow-up email a few days after a meeting, spaced-out onboarding reminders, or a Monday-morning team digest can now be built in a single no-code flow instead of split across separate scheduled flows.

What to do

When building a flow in Workspace Studio, add a 'Wait until' step and choose a pause mode (specific day and time, a specific day next week, or a set duration), then monitor the paused flow's progress in the Activity tab.

When it takes effect

Rollout to Rapid Release and Scheduled Release domains began on November 9, 2026.
