Use Cases
Here are some use case examples to help you understand how to use the Clock channel.
In this case we are using Clock to help when we are creating a parent by importing a child. We use a Pause between each record that triggers parent creation to avoid creating more parents than necessary. In our example, a CSV file has three records associated with the same parent. We use the clock to pause the trigger on records two and three to allow the first record to create the parent.
