Wait Time Condition with Daylight Saving factor

Hi there,

I have a use case and that's to run like this: 

Entry Audience > Wait for 14 hours > send comms at 7:30am (taking into consideration of Daylight saving in Australia).

 

Just wanted to check if there's any potential gaps if I build the journey as per below with screenshot attached? Note: in Journey Properties, I have set the Time zone to be Australia/Sydney.

Entry Audience > Wait activity under Orchestration > Condition ... Time condition Type under Orchestration ... Define by Hour ... Start Time: 0730 | End Time: 0745 > send comms.

 

Thanks,

Amanda

@ak5 Journey setup looks good considering the requirements to send messages from 7:30 to 7:45. Hence setting the timezone done at the journey property level will use that timezone in the condition activity. If this is an evergreen journey consider how you want to handle this when daylight saving ends.

    Hi @satheeskannak,

     

    Thanks for the quick reply! Just to confirm if I'm understanding your reply correctly is that my journey setup takes care of the daylight saving changes automatically? And this is because the timezone setup in the Journey properties is set to Australia/Sdyney.

     

    Just to add that my journey is an always on journey, so it needs to take into consideration of daylight saving changes. 

     

    Thanks!

    Hi @ak5 ,

     

    I don't know the equivalent in Australia time zone but for NA, I'm using this time zone to take care of the switch between EST and EDT

     

    Thanks,

    David
