How Can I delay the activation of the filament sensor until after the prime blob - will this work?

I'd like to delay the filament sensor until after the prime blob. Will something like this work? I'm trying to piece this together with other information I've found online and am unsure as to the formatting. 
[gcode_macro enable_filament_sensor]
# Helper macro to enable runout sensor
gcode:
    # Activate the sensor
    SET_FILAMENT_SENSOR SENSOR=filament_sensor ENABLE=1
    
[gcode_macro _PRIME]
gcode:
    # disable the sensor
    SET_FILAMENT_SENSOR SENSOR=filament_sensor ENABLE=0
    # prime blob
    {% if printer["gcode_macro RatOS"].nozzle_priming|lower == 'primeblob' %}
        PRIME_BLOB INITIAL_TOOLHEAD={params.INITIAL_TOOLHEAD} BOTH_TOOLHEADS={params.BOTH_TOOLHEADS} IDEX_MODE={params.IDEX_MODE} Y1={params.Y1}
    {% endif %}
   # call enable_runout_sensor with a delay of 1 sec
    UPDATE_DELAYED_GCODE ID=enable_filament_sensor DURATION=1
[gcode_macro enable_filament_sensor]
# Helper macro to enable runout sensor
gcode:
    # Activate the sensor
    SET_FILAMENT_SENSOR SENSOR=filament_sensor ENABLE=1
    
[gcode_macro _PRIME]
gcode:
    # disable the sensor
    SET_FILAMENT_SENSOR SENSOR=filament_sensor ENABLE=0
    # prime blob
    {% if printer["gcode_macro RatOS"].nozzle_priming|lower == 'primeblob' %}
        PRIME_BLOB INITIAL_TOOLHEAD={params.INITIAL_TOOLHEAD} BOTH_TOOLHEADS={params.BOTH_TOOLHEADS} IDEX_MODE={params.IDEX_MODE} Y1={params.Y1}
    {% endif %}
   # call enable_runout_sensor with a delay of 1 sec
    UPDATE_DELAYED_GCODE ID=enable_filament_sensor DURATION=1
Solution:
Not sure if I did this entirely correctly but it works... ```[delayed_gcode enable_filament_sensor] Helper macro to enable runout sensor gcode: # Activate the sensor...
