Add an Option to Automatically Turn off a Workflow at a Specific Date and Time
If we set up a workflow for a temporary period, like a sale or promo, it would be great to set an expiration date so the workflow will shut off automatically and messages do not continue to send past the expiration of the offer period.
For context, I'm on my company's marketing team, and this would be very useful when we run promos. It will reduce human error in remembering to go back and shut the workflow off after the promo, ensuring messages don't go out to customers after the offer is no longer available.
We had this functionality previously when sending emails or in-apps from Intercom.
Thank you for sharing the examples and feedback on this feature. I'm excited to announce a new setting to automatically turn off workflows is now in beta. If you'd like early access, you can join the beta here.
If you have any questions or feedback don't hesitate to reach out.
This would be helpful when running event based workflows. We sometimes forget to turn off the workflow, cauing an out of context email to go out after an event.
yes we absolutely need it, today we need to turn off the workflows manually, at the risk of forgetting to do so... we hope Hubspot product team will take this idea into account !
Commenting to also boost this idea to the Hubspot ideas team. This would be a great feature, especially for companies that want to run campaigns for sales on products and such.
Bumping this as well, just had to go through a massive purge of old automated emails and workflows that had been set up by my predecessors, and a basic workflow expiration would have prevented a lot of emails going out to folks when they shouldn't have.
+1 to this as well. It would save so much time and brain capacity for me and my team to have this feature, as we are running quite a lot of time-limited workflows for promo campaigns or webinars.
