Blackout Interval

The blackout period is the time frame during which the platform is restricted from sending notifications. Please note that this feature is enabled for only Recurring Campaign Flows.

If you are managing an audience from different time zones, it is clear that your recurring campaign flows will include people from various time zones. You may want to avoid disturbing people while they are sleeping!

With this feature, you can set a blackout time during which people in their time zone do not receive any notifications.

To configure a blackout period, please navigate to D·engage platform select Settings > Campaign Configuration > Blackout Interval.

🚧

For your convenience

For your convenience, the platform asks you to specify the earliest and latest times to send notifications. In other words, you are configuring the allowed time to send notifications. Any time outside of these boundaries will be considered blackout time, during which your audience, based on their time zone, will not receive any notifications such as email, SMS, or mobile/web push messages that might disturb them.
