Work flow option: Avoid bank holidays

Hi everyone,

Thanks for the continued feedback on this idea, for the ability to prevent workflows from executing on specific dates (for example, on certain holidays).

We’re currently working on a feature that adds a new option to the execution time settings. In addition to being able to define days/times for when the workflow should run, you’ll soon be able to define specific dates on which the workflow should not run. When a record reaches an action on one of those dates, the action will be rescheduled for the next available date. For example, if a contact is active in a nurture workflow on 12/25/20, but a user has added 12/24/20-1/2/21 as dates to skip, the contact wont receive any nurture emails from that workflow until 1/3/21. These dates can be set on a workflow by workflow basis.

Please let me know if you have questions. When more details and a beta are available, I will update here.

Thank you!

Megan
