This issue is really two issues. 1) Portal/Recipient Timezone I know there is some functionality with email sends in regards to using IP Country to send in a recipients timezone, however that functionality has limitations. For example, if you have an imported list from an event (or in our case an entire database migration from Eloqua) those contacts will not have been cookie'd yet so the send will default to the portal timezone. Or you may just want to divvy your campaigns/email sends out entirely by region. What would be great is if there was a way to schedule entire email sends or workflow times by timezone. So for example..if I have a nurture program that is going to all of my AsiaPac contacts I can change the timezone to Singapore Standard Time (as an example) and then select the hours I want. This is doable at the moment but requires some mental converting from your timezone to the desired timezone. This gets tricky too when talking about daylights savings time changes (happens in some countries but not others) as well as regions with a huge time difference (Singapore vs. East Coast US is 13 hours apart, so in a lot of cases time crosses dates) 2) Portal/User Timezone We have users in all US timezones as well as users in Netherlands and Singapore (and our team will continue to grow globally beyond that). Because our main power users are on EST that is what the portal is set to, however that can cause confusion for the non-EST users for email scheduling, reporting, contact properties, etc. If Issue #1 is solved that could solve some of these issues, but it would be nice if users could pick what timezone they were in rather than it being defaulted to the portal timezone. I know these functionalities exist in other automation tools, would be nice to have them in HubSpot as well!
