Pause emails for maternity / paternity / extended leave

Hi,

 

it would be great if there was a function where we could pause marketing emails for specific contacts for specific amounts of time when they have notified us they are on extended leave periods (maternity / paternity for e.g.)

 

this could also be very helpful should we experience further need for pausing emails during periods of inactivity, such as further pandemic issues and furlough of employees

 

please upvote this suggestion!

 

Thank you,

YES! I've been saying this for years. It would be great if you could set a contact  to a "paused" state - via a contact property with a drop down calendar where you could select the date where you'd "unpause" them. During the pause they would be removed from any email sends. 

 

It would be great to then be able to pull a list with all of the contacts that are paused. 

 

I have several dozen contacts who are OOO for 3-6 months for parental leave. I don't want to continue emailing them during this time, but I also don't want to remove them from the list they're on because I likely wouldn't remember to add them back (how would I keep track of all of their different return dates?)
