Just hopping on quickly: in addition to the trigger/filter/action, being able to add delays would be precious.

(Example: onboarding/nudges, send message one week after joining community, then two months later, or if member hasn’t posted or read etc x days after joining do something… definitely not something any community would use, but for the active support community type like ours, it would be!)
