avoid send email/sms/push only on holidays / specific date

[nirshani]

hi i have several demands from my client regarding sending email/sms  i wonder if there is global configuration to do that ?

1. avoid sending on the first day of the month
2. avoid weekend 
3. avoid holidays 

it can be different answer to each questions :). 

thanks !

Hi @nirshani 

1. avoid sending on the first day of the month --> [David] use the same logic as for point 3 
   
   
2. avoid weekend --> [David] use condition with time condition as parameter. I explained it here
   
   
3. avoid holidays -->  [David] use condition with data source condition and define your holidays. see the example below where I was excluding 7/4, Thanksgiving, Christmas, new year and MLK day
   in(toDateOnly(now()),[toDateOnly("2023-07-04"),toDateOnly("2023-11-23"),toDateOnly("2023-12-25"),toDateOnly("2024-01-01"),toDateOnly("2024-01-15")])

Thanks,

David

thanks you , this probably work and i will use it  !

 i think it is to cumbersome to apply for each touch point with the client on each journey...

is there a possibility to ask improvement from Adobe ?  i think that those definitions should be on the surface definition then you have the flexibility   to use it across journeys and can reuse different surfaces in the same journey  

Thanks
