# Working Hours

Learn how to configure Working Hours in Easify Connect to control when your SMS campaigns send messages. Understand how campaigns pause outside your scheduled hours, resume automatically, and support overnight schedules.

Working Hours allow you to choose **when your phone sends campaign messages**. You can set specific days and times for your campaigns to run, helping you reach contacts at appropriate times.

For example, if you don't want your campaigns sending messages at 3 AM, you can configure Working Hours to prevent messages from being sent during those hours.

## **How It Works**

Easify Connect automatically manages your campaigns based on your configured Working Hours.

## **Overnight Sending**

### **Need to send messages at night?**

Easify Connect supports overnight schedules, allowing you to set Working Hours that extend past midnight.

To configure an overnight schedule, simply set a **Start Time that is later than your End Time**.

For example, if you want your campaigns to run from 10 PM to 6 AM, configure the following:

<table data-id="f1476c0c-ac4d-44eb-ae4d-86c8bea1d654" style="min-width: 379px;"><colgroup><col style="width: 354px;"><col style="min-width: 25px;"></colgroup><tbody><tr><td colspan="1" rowspan="1" style="border-width: 1pt; border-style: solid; border-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); vertical-align: top; padding: 5pt; overflow: hidden; overflow-wrap: break-word;"><p data-id="41dc1c3f-d922-4cf1-b2a8-0b8290adc001" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"><strong>Setting</strong></span></p></td><td colspan="1" rowspan="1" style="border-width: 1pt; border-style: solid; border-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); vertical-align: top; padding: 5pt; overflow: hidden; overflow-wrap: break-word;"><p data-id="a2510523-2095-48b8-8b79-0137b4942bdf" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"><strong>Time</strong></span></p></td></tr><tr><td colspan="1" rowspan="1" style="border-width: 1pt; border-style: solid; border-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); vertical-align: top; padding: 5pt; overflow: hidden; overflow-wrap: break-word;"><p data-id="f8f4654e-5ca1-4523-ba2b-2be81c10e586" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"><strong>Start Time</strong></span></p></td><td colspan="1" rowspan="1" style="border-width: 1pt; border-style: solid; border-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); vertical-align: top; padding: 5pt; overflow: hidden; overflow-wrap: break-word;"><p data-id="e5bd6038-5b19-44a1-b1db-3e4ee4a2d8e3" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">10:00 PM</span></p></td></tr><tr><td colspan="1" rowspan="1" style="border-width: 1pt; border-style: solid; border-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); vertical-align: top; padding: 5pt; overflow: hidden; overflow-wrap: break-word;"><p data-id="bdf0649f-2255-4b6c-af46-a445d88fe4fc" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"><strong>End Time</strong></span></p></td><td colspan="1" rowspan="1" style="border-width: 1pt; border-style: solid; border-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); vertical-align: top; padding: 5pt; overflow: hidden; overflow-wrap: break-word;"><p data-id="d9541022-d91d-4037-8415-1fb7147aa2fb" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">6:00 AM</span></p></td></tr></tbody></table>

Easify Connect will handle the overnight schedule automatically.

## **What Happens If I Start a Campaign Outside Working Hours?**

If you start a campaign outside your configured Working Hours, it will wait until the next available working window before sending messages.

You don't need to start the campaign again manually. It will begin automatically when your next scheduled working period starts.

**Tip:** Set your Working Hours according to your audience's preferred communication times to help ensure your messages reach them at appropriate times.
