I would love a workflow delay action that allows you to release only a certain number of records from it every spcified amount of time. For example if I enrolled 10,000 contacts into a nurture workflow I would love for 500 to move through the workflow every 24 hours (if you could take into account business days on this too that would be excellent). Then every 24 hours 500 records get released to recieve emails, SMS, or tasks.

This would work really well in pairing with other delay actions as well to be able to stagger outreach on a larger scale so that replies never get overwhelming

This sounds interesting to test in beta

I would love this to be built in to workflows! I am currently using a third party app, CarpQueue, to accomplish this, but it would be great if this was built into HubSpot.

This is a crucial feature to have natively available to Hubspot users. Especially when building workflows that send Emails or SMS.

I also use GHL which has this feature native. But I found a work around for Hubspot. A third party integration called Carp Queue.

Hello! We released configurable action rate limits for the custom code and webhook actions in workflows. This is only available for Data Hub Pro/Ent. You can learn more [here](https://app.hubspot.com/l/product-updates/?rollout=236957).

Thanks!
