Before launching a sequence, you can set a sequence schedule that includes days and hours, public US holidays, the contact's specific time zone, and any other preferences that will affect when your messages are sent to contacts. This setting can be done in Sequence Steps using Delivery windows (schedules).

When a sequence is out of schedule, the sequence remains active but it’s not sent until the next sending window opens. In this case, a warning banner explaining why it isn't sending at the moment will be shown:

For your convenience, you can always check the schedule for a sequence, and if there is a need, change the sending days and hours to resume the sequence.

To check and update the sending schedule, follow these steps:

  1. Open a sequence and click on the Schedule icon.

2. Sending schedule wizard will be shown. Here you can view the settings for scheduling as well as change them.
