Send emails based on local times

Can you add a feature that would allow us send email based on receivers' local time zones under the "schedule tab" without creating programs?

    This is already implemented, Dina.  (At least as far as this Idea is concerned; as Dan points out, it needs expanded functionality to be useful to more people.)

    This is really exciting. I do not have this functionality live on my instance yet, is it accurate that it only applies to Email Send programs and we can not utilize this for engagement programs?

    I believe the Fall release happens later this months.  Just not sure if everyone will have it or if it will be deployed gradually like some of their other enhancements have been in the past.

    I hope it applies to ANY type of program that sends emails - not just Email Send programs (especially since Email Send programs can't be used in EPs). Very rarely do we use the Email Send program.

        Is this a function being worked on? Thread seems old-  I love the idea.

        Nope, it's not from what we've been told. I'd recommend trying out the method I listed above. It should get the job done for you.

        I was told at Summit that this will be released Q4...

        This seems to be a pretty hot topic among users.  While self serving, Seventh Sense, a LaunchPoint partner, offers a send time personalization and email analytics system.  In short, it goes a bit deeper than the traditional send time optimization or time zone sending and analyzes when each contact has opened and clicked on emails, scores those events differently (we want to hit people when they're more likely to click than open), builds a profile on each contact (visible and can be exported to deliver your sales team the same insight) and then rather than blasting to the entire list, you schedule the list with Seventh Sense (Marketo still delivers, etc.) and each contact will receive his or her email at their most optimal time.  Benefits of this approach include increased engagement, decreases in unsubs, increased deliverability, activating dormant contacts and providing a bit of an insurance policy when you find out that you have a bad link, wrong date, etc. within your email.

        We're also actively working on an artificial intelligence layer which will spot content fatigue so that you can automatically opt down contacts from receiving emails so that they don't get annoyed and unsubscribe or worse, dis-engage with your brand which will create a graymail problem.

          Hi Graeme.

          Instead using multiple campaigns you can define in the Flow using the wait steps & add choice of a single campaign, if you are running a single content at the time.

            This is really a musty have especially for our national and global clients.

            Agreed - Marketo can we please get a status on this? This is a daily headache for our team.

            As a temporary workaround while they work on this, you can build a segmentation based on states and countries and which time zone they fall into, and then add the send and wait steps in a template.

            Segmentations (soon to be expanded to APAC also):

            Part of the email flow in the template program:

              I agree that this would be a very useful feature to have and save so much time rather than creating regions and different send times based on regions manually.
