Schedule emails based on your recipients' time zones

Last updated: September 12, 2025

Available with any of the following subscriptions, except where noted:

You can schedule a marketing email to send at a specific time in your recipients' time zones. The email will be sent in batches based on the values in your recipients' IP time zone property. Any contact without a value for this property will receive the email in your account time zone.

Understand limitations and considerations

  • Emails scheduled according to recipient time zone will be sent whenever the specified time next occurs in that time zone. If that time has already passed on the day when the email is scheduled, it will be sent the following day.
  • You can't schedule emails based on recipients' time zones in A/B tested emails.
  • If you selected a segment for an email scheduled according to recipient time zone, any contacts added to that segment after the email is scheduled will not be sent the email.
  • The send to more feature is not available for emails sent using recipient time zones. Instead, it's recommended to clone these emails to send them to additional recipients.
