# Workflow\.sleepUntil()

The `.sleepUntil()` method pauses execution until a specified date.

## Usage example

```typescript
workflow.sleepUntil(new Date(Date.now() + 5000))
```

## Parameters

**dateOrCallback** (`Date | ((params: ExecuteFunctionParams) => Promise<Date>)`): Either a Date object or a callback function that returns a Date. The callback receives execution context and can compute the target time dynamically based on input data.

## Returns

**workflow** (`Workflow`): The workflow instance for method chaining

## Extended usage example

```typescript
import { createWorkflow, createStep } from "@mastra/core/workflows";

const step1 = createStep({...});
const step2 = createStep({...});

export const testWorkflow = createWorkflow({...})
  .then(step1)
  .sleepUntil(async ({ inputData }) => {
    const { delayInMs } = inputData;
    return new Date(Date.now() + delayInMs);
  })
  .then(step2)
  .commit();
```
