Firstly, I am new to zapier, so forgive me if this is a question that has already been asked and answered

I have set up a zap, it sends a series of three emails,

Sequence

Day 1 - Email 1 sent
Day 3 - Email 2 sent
Day 7 - Email 3 sent

I have used zapier delay to pause the emails and its working fine, what i now want to do is fine tune the delay so that the emails only go between the hours of 08:30-18:00, Monday to Friday

I am having problems setting it up and wondered if anyone can help?

Thanks i advance for any help given
 

Hi @HowardForster 

Help links for using Delay: https://zapier.com/apps/delay/help

Action: Delay - Until

Waits to run your actions until a date or time that you choose

 


I have set up my zap and it works okay, initial email is sent as soon as a google sheet is updated, it then sends second email three days later and a third email three days after that.

My zap does this fine, i know what to refine when it sends and only allow the zap to run during office hours - Monday to Friday, between the hours 08:00-18:00

I cant see how to figure zapier delay for this, can you give me some advice?


@HowardForster 

Specify a time in the Delay. (e.g. Delay until 8 AM)

Hi @HowardForster 👋

Did using the Delay Until action Troy suggested help have the desired affect?

If not, you might want to take a look at the following guides that help explain how to set up a Zap that’s delayed from running actions outside of the set business hours:
