Difference Between Dalay Until by using Schedule And Delay Until Using Dataverse

 Delay Until Action In Power Automate

Delay Until By Using Schedule 

Delay an action until a specific event occurs. You can use this action from the Microsoft Dataverse connector or any other connector as a step in the middle of the flow to delay subsequent steps until a specific event occurs. For example, you can define a flow that’s similar to the one in the following image to check for updates to Account rows in Dataverse, and then waits for an email confirmation from the Account manager before updating the change.

Wait condition using delay until

Use an OData-style time stamp in the Delay until property to delay the flow trigger until a specific UTC time.

The key benefit of using the Dataverse Delay until property instead of the standard Delay until action is the Dataverse Delay until property never expires, allowing the flow run to wait for long periods of time.

Feature	Delay Until Condition (Dataverse)	Scheduled Delay Action
Purpose	Pauses the flow until a specific date and time based on a field in Dataverse.	Pauses the flow for a scheduled time interval (duration).
Trigger	Triggered when a record is created or updated in Dataverse, waiting until a specific date/time field value.	Manually scheduled by defining a fixed delay (hours, days, etc.).
Input Type	Uses a date/time field from a Dataverse record (e.g., "Due Date" or "End Date").	Customizable delay period based on minutes, hours, or days.
Usage Scenario	Used when you want to delay flow execution based on a date/time value from a record.	Used when you need to pause the flow for a fixed amount of time after the flow starts.
Common Example	Wait until the "Due Date" in a record before triggering the next step.	Wait for 2 hours after an action is performed before moving to the next step.
Flexibility	Tied to the date/time value in Dataverse, requires dynamic data.	Manually controlled, independent of any external data or condition.
Limitations	Requires a date/time field in Dataverse.	Cannot be tied to specific record data or external events.

Summert:- Delay Until by Using Schedule: Key Points

• Function:
  Delays an action in a flow until a specific event occurs.

• Usage:
  Can be used with the Microsoft Dataverse connector or any other connector in a flow to pause actions until a certain event takes place.

• Example:
  A flow can be created to check for updates to Account rows in Dataverse and then wait for an email confirmation from the Account manager before proceeding.

• Wait Condition Using Delay Until:

  • Uses an OData-style time stamp in the Delay until property to delay the flow trigger until a specific UTC time.

• Key Benefit of Dataverse Delay Until:

  • Unlike the standard Delay until action, the Dataverse Delay until property does not expire, allowing the flow to wait for long periods without timing out.
