How to Prevent Automated Workflows From Sending During a Business Blackout Period

11/10/2026

Scheduled automation may send customer messages or make changes during a maintenance window or business blackout.

Checks to make

Represent blackout windows in a controlled calendar, define timezone and override ownership, and check the window immediately before execution. Queue or cancel affected work explicitly and test daylight-saving and holiday transitions.
