Can you implement a feature so that if your workflow is determined by x amount of days follow up, you can set up a rule that will avoid sending emails on any bank holidays, Christmas day, New year etc.

You already have a business days only rule so I guess it's just building on that....

This is great. The next generation would be to allow us to block certain days of the week.

 

If I send newsletters on Tuesdays, webinar invites on Thursdays, then I want workflow emails to go on not those days. Or, I want them to at least have a buffer of a certain number of hours. So perhaps I could say: don't send these workflow emails between 2pm and 5pm on Tuesdays or Thursdays.

 

As it is, I have to  either risk these emails doubling up on my contacts or manually enter all the dates of the next few months of Tuesdays and Thursdays. Unless there's a workaround I haven't found?

I have checked and searched but didn't find any general setting or flow to pause the automation on holidays in HubSpot except change the setting of each flow with specific dates to pause the flow.
