It is currently not possible to specify the exact time when an email in a sales sequence is sent. Even if it is a small probability, generic time stamps (in 15min increments) might lead a reader to the assumption that the mail is sent via an mass mail program thus lowering the opening chance.

A basis solution would be to allow the input of a custom time.

A great solution would be to integrate a randomized sent time within pre defined range. This way you would still choose a time in 15min intervalls but the real sent mail would be somewhere around the time making it look “human”.

Hi @ASHUMMELT At this time it’s not possible to specify times other than the default day/week increment. I’m not sure if this is an engineering issue, or by design, but it is a great suggestion. Can you head over to the [ideas forum](https://community.hubspot.com/t5/HubSpot-Ideas/idb-p/HubSpot_Ideas) and add this as a post?

Totally agree. The times to send a sequence needs to be a setting.

Sending emails to arrive in the early morning is what we are all taught. For this to happen in Hubspot one has to manually change it.

Help us be more automated and good marketers.

Thanks

Agreed, the defined range ought to default to morning hours, not all day as it currently does.
