I'm not sure I understand what you want to do.

A _flow_ is only triggered when something happens.

If nothing happens, the flow won't do anything.

If you open the `inject` node you will see this.

Click on that `v` drop down thingy and it will open up a list of options.

You can then set a time when you want the node to _inject_ its signal.  
Like so:

Does that help?
