What this setting does

Sending Hours control when workflows are allowed to send messages. They help prevent sends from firing outside the hours you want your outreach to happen.

When to use it

  • When messages should only go out during business hours or approved outreach windows

  • When you want to avoid late-night or off-hours sends

  • When workflow timing should respect operational constraints instead of firing immediately

What to think about before turning it on

  • Whether your workflow relies on exact timing or just same-day timing

  • Whether reminder workflows could miss their intended window if the contact enters too late

  • Whether delays and wait steps interact with your sending-hours window in the way you expect

Common mistakes

  • Assuming a workflow is broken when the message is simply waiting for the next allowed send window.

  • Setting sending hours too narrowly for time-sensitive workflows.

  • Forgetting that a delay plus sending-hours logic may push the message later than expected.

How to verify it worked

  • Check whether the workflow waited until the next allowed time window.

  • Review execution logs/history if the message did not send when expected.

  • If a message missed the intended business logic window entirely, adjust timing or workflow structure.
