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
