You can use the w. This is from the wiki:

If you need a .5 second pause while dialing a number you can insert a
*w* in the appropriate place.

Example:

exten => _5XXX,n,Dial(ZAP/G1/w1269xxxxxxxw${EXTEN}${CALLERID(number)})


This dials out G1, waits 1/2 second, dials the phone number and then
waits 1/2 second again and then dial the extension along with the
callerid number.
