GUI: Web Set Delay vs. Delay Row

| **Feature** | **GUI: Web Set Delay** | **Delay Row** |
| --- | --- | --- |
| **Purpose** | Adds delay for web browser actions | Delays each incoming data row |
| **Scope** | Web/Browser automation | Entire workflow/data pipeline |
| **Plugin** | GUI Automation / Web GUI | Utility |
| **Time Unit** | Milliseconds | Seconds, Minutes, Hours |
| **Browser Required** | Yes | No |
| **Execution** | Related to browser actions | Applies to every incoming row |

**When to use:**

- **GUI: Web Set Delay:** Use when a web page needs additional time to load after an action, such as clicking **Submit** before interacting with the next element.
- **Delay Row:** Use when you need to control the processing speed of data rows, such as adding a **1-second delay between API requests** to avoid rate-limit issues.

**In short:**  
**Web Set Delay = Web/browser pacing**  
**Delay Row = Data-row processing delay**
