Customizing Delivery Timeframes Within Workflows
Control exactly when messages and actions fire inside BizStackPro workflows using delivery windows, If/Else conditions, and Wait steps.
Sending Workflow Messages at the Right Time Instead of Annoying Your Contacts
Workflow automation can quickly create a poor customer experience when messages fire late at night, reminders send on weekends, or time-sensitive follow-ups arrive at the wrong moment.
BizStackPro workflows include delivery windows, If/Else conditions, and Wait steps that allow businesses to control exactly when workflow actions and communication are allowed to run.
Without proper timing controls, businesses may accidentally reduce engagement, trigger messages outside business hours, create inconsistent automation behavior, or overwhelm contacts with poorly timed communication.
This guide explains how to customize workflow delivery timeframes, use workflow-wide Time Windows, build advanced timing logic with If/Else conditions, and schedule actions more precisely inside BizStackPro workflows.
Before building advanced workflow timing rules, it helps to understand how delivery windows, Wait steps, If/Else conditions, exact-time scheduling, and business-hour controls work together inside BizStackPro automation systems.
Overview
Delivery timeframes help you control when workflow actions occur, ensuring messages are sent during appropriate business hours and not at inconvenient times.
BizStackPro gives you two solid approaches: set a workflow-wide delivery window, or build advanced logic with If/Else conditions and Wait steps for step-by-step control.
Quick rule: Use a Time Window for simple “business hours only.” Use If/Else + Wait when you need exceptions (skip weekends, exact-time delivery, different schedules per step, etc.).
Method 1: Set a Default Workflow Delivery Window
- Navigate to Automation → Workflows.
- Select the workflow you want to edit.
- Open Settings.
-
Under Time Window, choose:
- Any Time – no restrictions.
- Specific Time – limit sends to selected days and hours.
- Save your changes.
How it works: Any highlighted day and time is considered valid for delivery. Steps scheduled outside the window are automatically delayed until the next allowed time.
Method 2: Advanced Timing with If/Else + Wait Steps
This approach gives you granular control—like sending on a specific date while skipping weekends, or timing only certain steps without changing the entire workflow window.
- Add an If/Else action.
- Select a Date Time condition.
- Check for weekdays or specific dates.
- Route weekend contacts through a Wait step until Monday.
Exact-time scheduling: Use a Wait step with the Exact Time option to fire actions precisely when needed.
Common Use Cases
- Monthly Campaigns: Send emails on a specific day while avoiding weekends.
- Business Hours Only: Restrict SMS and calls to weekday office hours.
- Event Reminders: Schedule reminders based on the user’s local time zone.
Keep automation professional (and on-time)
Delivery windows improve engagement by sending at the right time—without waking people up, spamming weekends, or firing reminders too early.

How can I set a default time window for my workflow?
Open the Workflow Builder, go to Settings, and under Time Window choose Any Time or Specific Time to define delivery windows.
