Hi,

What’s the best way to delay a campaign and send an email on the first Friday?

I have a campaign that checks the day they enter this campaign. For example on a Thursday they enter this campaign.

How can I delay and send an email on the first upcoming Friday at let’s say 10:00 AM?

When creating your campaign you will need to add an action ‘Send Email’ or ‘Send Marketing Message’. In a pop-up there will be an option for you to choose when to execute the event. Click on ‘at a relative time period’ and set Friday.
