Broadcast by Timezone allows you to schedule messages to your subscribers and have it sent automatically based on their estimated time, rather than your brand’s timezone. Emotive uses the recipient’s area code to estimate which timezone they are most likely located in.

Send by Timezone

In the Review and Send step of creating your Broadcast:
  • Under Send time, click to expand the timezone dropdown menu.
  • Choose Recipient’s timezone from the menu.

If you schedule a broadcast by timezone for a time that has already past, then it will be treated as a send now for those timezones.
Unfortunately, we have no way of knowing the physical location so we use the information we do have (area code) to estimate the timezone someone is in.
No. The broadcast is locked once it starts sending to the first region.
No. Currently A/B testing and broadcast by timezone are not able to be used together.
The broadcast will be listed in a preparing state until it has reached ALL the US timezones. For example, we are seeing “10:45 AM Cust” in the screenshot meaning that it will be fully sent when it has reached 10:45 AM Alaska / Hawaii local time.
The default timezone in your account can be found and changed in the Settings > Profile section of our application, under Time Zone.
