To delay a page to execute some function use setTimeout takes in most cases two arguments the first is the function to be excuted after such a amount of time given by the second argument in ms

setTimeout(
function(){
 var button = document.getElementById('clickButton'); 
button.form.submit(); 
}
, 60*1000);//60 * 1000 = 60000ms = 60s

window.onload = function() {
  setTimeout(() => {
    var button = document.getElementById('clickButton');
    button.form.submit();
  }, 60000); 
}

Use setTimeout() https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/setTimeout
