Set delay and hours for automatic messages

New events use the configured delay and window to schedule messages.

Step by step

  1. Choose the group in the automation section.

  2. Enter the delay in minutes; zero adds no scheduled delay.

  3. Enable Restrict hours and set start and end hours if needed.

  4. Save the automation and check the feedback.

Check your result

New events use the configured delay and window to schedule messages.

What you need to know

  • The window uses fixed BRT (UTC−3), includes the start hour and excludes the end hour. Outside the window, sending is scheduled for the next start.
  • Windows crossing midnight are supported. Equal start and end do not restrict hours.
  • Saving a configuration is not a sending test or proof of delivery; events must occur and have resolved phones.
