Is it possible to add a day and time delay simultaneously? I am trying to add a 7-day delay to an email through a workflow but I’m also hoping to set it up to a time (based on contact’s local timezone). Would adding a delay in day and an additional delay in time work? Or is there an easier way of doing it? ---

Hi Gaurav, Thanks for the response! I’m not sure if this would work as I’m hoping to delay the action for a set amount of time rather than the days of the week. However, in doing so, I also need to set a time for that delay. So for example, if a contact does a form submission on Monday - I wanna delay it by 7 days at a specific time. The issue with using Days of the Week is if a contact fills the same form on a Friday, I still want to give them 7 days instead of having it automated for next Monday, ultimately only giving them 3 days. Maybe I’m missing something here. Let me know. ---

Hi there! I have achieved this before by adding a time delay step for “Delay 7 days” and then adding a step that says “Delay until specific time” with the contact’s time zone. ---

Hi Sam, Good to know. That’s what I’ve done but I wasn’t sure if it would work. Is this how you did it? ![Screenshot 2023-08-02 at 11.28.50 AM.png](https://d2qpr2jzcazej7.cloudfront.net/original/3X/b/f/bf3daae53c27980cb04b57488dd562e074fd38a1.png) ---
