Hi,

I just wanted to ask if there’s a way for us to add a delay in a workflow that only counts in business days? Just like how we set up meetings.

Wish we can create a delay in a custom format, wherein we can decide the time, number of days, time of day and days of week we can set, like a combination of all the delay options we currently have.

Hi @Joms

Please share the exact requirements so that I can provide you with the best solution.

As per your above statement, I have created a solution

1. You need to add two delays :

A. Set amount of time

B. Days of week

Yes, you can add a delay in HubSpot workflows that counts only business days. You can configure delays to wait until a specific day or time, and set custom delays that exclude weekends and holidays.
