Can I slow down zaps in between each execution?

I have a zap that sends items pasted into a google sheet to another vendor’s app. It’s actually placing an order for something with that vendor. 

Usually 3-4 items are pasted into the google sheet at a time. The problem is that after an order placed with this vendor if another comes in within 3 minutes it triggers their fraud protection. 

Is there a way I can make it so that when the zap runs, it waits before executing again?

Hi @davdtr 

Good question.

Use Delay After Queue: https://zapier.com/help/create/customize/add-delays-to-zaps#delay-after-queue
