complete
I am happy to announce this feature is partially complete!
You can use our new delay options, select Day of Month Delay, for it to delay monthly.
You can learn more about that here: https://support.myclickfunnels.com/support/solutions/articles/150000156723-workflows-using-delay-step-for-precise-automation
and If you need to trigger the workflow to launch at a future date, you can do this by selecting a contact and "Adding a tag", and scheduling the tag the tag to be added for a future date.
Learn more about that here: https://support.myclickfunnels.com/support/solutions/articles/150000175321-contacts-actions

Add something

I want to use specific times within my automated workflow emails, especially on my final deadline day so that I can send out three emails up through say midnight pacific time. This is obviously a very important mater as most sales are made on this last day. Please can you consider adding a "specific time" instead of only delayed amount of time option within workflows so that we can automate our sales funnels and get more sales?!

Hey Kirsten Johnson Thank you for your feedback and adding this request. This is something that can already be done in our system by registering your contacts for an event, then you will have the special event delay option in your workflow, where you can delay actions based on the event time you set.
If you have any questions about this or need any help with it, please reach out to our support team for help.
in the meantime, I will merge this request with another request we have about sending out a workflow step at a specific time of the week.

David Lamoureux (Product Support Analyst) Thanks for your reply! Actually I am unable to send emails by exact times (ex 9pm Pacific). If this is in fact possible please can you explain how to do this? I do not see the option, only to delay a specific amount of time based upon deadline. What I really want is to be able to send multiple emails on the final day before cart closes through midnight of a specific time zone via automation. So the request would be for control over what specific time emails go out (instead of "hold for 3 hours," something like "hold until 3pm pacific). Thank you!!

This feature is a must otherwise the email flow has no meaning at all.

Add option to make email sequence by exact date
Andrej Kastelic
Below you can read what was my question about, so to better understand the feature read the question below.
I have already got an answer the feature is not available yet.
So yes would be great if we can have an option in the workflow to make email sequence by exact date. That would be great feature for the Challenges.
Hey there.
Can I set up a sequence of emails in a workflow like this?
We're doing a 30-day weight loss challenge, of course, we're promoting this challenge beforehand, where people sign up for the challenge via a landing page.
But here's the crux of the question:
Example: if we start the challenge on the first of the month, can I specify in the workflow which email goes out on each specific date?
Because I want them to receive instructions for each day separately.
Currently, I do this via the Broadcast option, is this the only option, or can I set this up in the workflow, but there I know I can only set a delay option for when someone will receive the next email since they did the opt-in.
I hope I've explained well enough what I want to ask? :)
