More customised scheduling

[andyjeffries]

Hey, given all of our customers are in the same timezone and we know the best times to message people for an optimal response rate, is it possible to have all campaign messages delivered within specific windows (or at least queued within those windows).

For example, we're happy emails being queued/sent from 9am-10am Tuesday to Thursday, but sending one of our customers/prospects an email at 10pm on a Friday will be either ignored or worst case cause them to potentially unsubscribe.

Wondered if this use-case had been considered.

Hey @andyjeffries, I had not considered this use case, but think it would be nice to have. I'm not sure of the right abstraction, since Heya is not aware of localized settings like timezone currently. Do you have any ideas of what the config would look like?

[andyjeffries]

I don't know what triggers the job, but I would say some kind of schedule defined in the config for that process.

To be honest, I've gone with a hand-crafted solution (it was a one day thing for me to build all the campaign-based functionality), but I still think it would be useful for others.
