List of building blocks

Building blocks control how the actions of an automation or a script run. For example, they wait, repeat steps, or choose between steps. In the editor, you find them under Blocks when you add an action.

Browse the list below, or use the search box to find a building block by name or description. For an introduction, refer to Building blocks and actions. The building blocks that don't have their own page yet are described there.

Waiting

These building blocks pause the automation or script: for a set time, until a template is true, or until a trigger reacts.

Wait for a trigger wait_for_trigger Pause an automation or script until a trigger reacts, with an optional timeout.
