Add a Delay within Google Drive Copy File Module

Hi guys,

normally adding a delay in a workflow to match API limits wouldn’t be a tough job but here it seems like the limits are within one module. So from the entire workflow basically just the Google Drive Copy File makes Problems as for every row in the Google Sheet it creates a new Google Slide Presentation from the Template, which is then filled in with values and so on … rest is not important here.

Problem seems to be that these Documents are created too quickly so even when having just 9 rows it already made problems giving me 400er errors regarding API limits.

Does anyone have any idea how to limit the requests here so that it doesn’t copy the templates all within one second it feels like?
