create a pause or wait function in workflow.
When something causes a lot of documents to start a workflow that send a mail message at the same time the mail server starts rejecting connections. This notably happens with pay stub notifications sent to employees that their pay stub is available. I can get around this by creating several workflows and start the workflow based alphabetically by the employees name but it would be nice if I could just set one workflow to pause a certain number of seconds before continuing based on the employee name.

Thank you for your contribution. Your idea is available with version 7.2. There is a wait activity available where you can make the workflow wait for some time.

Where? I have the cloud version 7.2 and the activities I have listed are Assign to, task, parallel task, assign data, condition, email, and web service. There is no wait activity.
