Feature to Pause Communications for a Certain Amount of Time

[JSchneiderOH]

It would be ideal, especially in our industry, for HubSpot to have a built-in feature to pause communications for a certain amount of time and then automatically re-subscribe them. You would need to manually manage these subscriptions as described above.

Hi @JSchneiderOH,

The best place for these kinds of suggestions is the HubSpot Ideas section of the community: https://community.hubspot.com/t5/HubSpot-Ideas/idb-p/HubSpot_Ideas

These requests submitted to the HubSpot Ideas section of the community are reviewed by the HubSpot product team, based on their popularity and the assumed demand.

As far as workarounds go, this can be achieved with a combination of CTAs (asking the contact for how long they'd like to snooze emails of this subscription type), a date property (when the CTA was last clicked), a calculation property (calculating the date until which the contact should be suppressed) and an exclusion list (which includes all contacts where this date is in the future). It's not too complicated to set up 🙂 Let me know if you need more details.

Best regards!
