# CRM - Automation - Function: Time Limiter

#### With SprintHub, you can optimize your CRM automations by controlling the execution timing of actions. You can limit Leads, allowing only a specific quantity to advance every X hours or days, or even set strategic delays at the start of actions for a more organized and efficient flow. 

{% hint style="info" %} <mark style="color:blue;">This limiter is also present in 360º SAC Automations and Automation Flows</mark>

2. **Configure and Save:**

* **Enter a Title:** Give the automation a descriptive name.
* **Set up a Trigger:** You can use a trigger of your choice.
* **Configure the Condition:** You can use one or more conditions of your choice.

> But note: without using triggers, it will be necessary to enable condition checks. These checks will occur at varying time intervals, which can range from minutes to hours, depending on the number of automations and leads in your instance.

* **Choose the Action:** It is possible to use one or more actions of your choice.
* Configure the Action.
* **Describe** exactly what the action will do.
* **Save the Automation:** After configuring, save the automation.
