To get started, follow the steps below:
- Click "Automations" from the left side navigation menu to navigate to the Automations overview page.
- Click the “Edit” button for the automation you wish to modify.
- Add a conditional wait step above your "Send an email" step. To do this, click the node (+) above the email you wish to send on weekdays only.
- In the “Add an action” modal, click “Workflow” then click “Wait.”
- Click the “Until specific conditions are met” option.
- The Segment builder will appear. Click the first dropdown and click “Date & Time.”
- Click the “Current day of the week” option.
- In the second field, choose your preferred timezone.
- In the fourth field, click “Weekdays” in the dropdown.
- Click the “Save” button.
Now any contact that encounters this conditional wait, will wait until it is the weekday before moving to your “Send an email” step.
