Wait Action
It would be nice to be able to add a "WAIT" action so we could add a delay in between Call URL actions. At the moment if you're performing a task against a rate limited API like Xero, you run into a 429 very quickly. We've been handling it with external code, but it would be nice to remove that extra layer.

I had asked for this, with no success
So what I do is :
- I spend time running a dummy GET action into TeamDesk. No value update, no impact on the data, just a loss of time.
- or I manage a waiting list (a extra table with a timestamp field which I define with a minimal duration over the previous one and a trigger) the only thing is that they are triggered every 5 minutes)

Good idea on the dummy get request!
