Step delays management

Last updated on Oct 22, 2026

Step delay is a time interval that defines a delay between your steps. You can postpone the sending of Step 1 and put a delay between Step 2 and Step 3. Here is how you can do it in your campaign:

  1. Go to the Sequences tab and click on the sequence.
  2. Open the Steps tab.
  3. Click on the arrow near the step.
  4. Edit the Days/hours/minutes values.
  5. Save the changes.

💡 Important: the contacts that are already on the step you are editing will ignore the new delay. Weekends are included in the day count. One day of delay = 24 hours.

For example, your Step 1 is scheduled for Monday, you put 3 days of delay between Step 1 and Step 2. 3 days = 72 hours. It means your Step 2 will be sent on Thursday:
