You can configure a '''Wait''' action to hold contacts until conditions are met, with options to specify time limits for waiting if you desire.

=== Can I combine '''Wait''' and '''Jump To''' actions in the same automation? ===
Yes, you can use both actions in the same automation to create a dynamic email flow that accommodates different scenarios.

=== Will contacts receive emails while they are waiting on a '''Wait''' action? ===
No, contacts will not receive the next email until they fulfill the conditions set in the '''Wait''' action.

=== How do I know if a contact has skipped an action using '''Jump To'''? ===
