You can schedule a batch marketing email to send at a specific time in your recipients' own time zone. The email will be sent in batches based on your recipients' IP time zone property contact property value. Any contact without a value for this property will receive the email in your account time zone.
Since it takes a full day to schedule an email consistently across all time zones, you should only schedule an email based on your recipients' time zone more than one full day in advance. If you do schedule an email for a time that's already passed in certain time zones, your email be sent to contacts in those time zones at the same local time the following day.
Please note: this feature is only available for batch marketing emails created in the classic email editor. You can't schedule emails based on recipients' time zones in an A/B test email.
