I suspected though that I might risk triggering a lot of running flows with delays that then would …

This seems like a much better solution than mine, thanks. It is a bit complicated though if you want several of those kinds of actions.

This is fantastic, I thought this would be something others must’ve wanted, and it turns out it was. I’ll try this out for sure!
