Hi
I am trying to set a 4 email welcome series flow where:
- Email #1: sent after sign up form submission
- Email #2: I want it to be sent on the 26th November
Can I set a delay time related to an specific date??
Thanks

Delays can be set for Days, Hours, Minutes. You can’t put a specific DATE - but you can put specific delay for the TIME OF THE DAY and DAY OF THE WEEK.
Hi
Just as
However, Campaigns can be scheduled in advance for a specific date, so you can simulate a triggered flow by creating a Campaign for your subscribers list using the Determine Recipients at Send Time function. This function ensures that the Campaign is updated to include every subscriber that’s joined between the time that you created the Campaign and the moment that it’s delivered to the recipients. The option is available at the Review step of Campaign creation, and you must choose a time and time zone in order for it to appear:
You can replicate this simulated flow as many times as you like, but there is a caveat to look out for:
Say you’d like to send another welcome email to new Subscribers on the specific date of Dec. 10, but don’t want the recipients of the Nov. 26 email to receive a duplicate. Then you should create a new Segment of customers that have subscribed after you sent the Nov. 26 email. This can be accomplished by navigating to Lists & Segments > Create List / Segment > Segment > Define Conditions below:
Now when you go to send your Campaign, just select this newly created Segment instead of the entire Subscriber’s List, so that no older subscribers receive a duplicate:

If the Klaviyo system can determine dates, then triggering an email within a flow should be fairly easy function to set up. I have seen other CRM systems that do that and it is essential for things like webinar funnels. I’ve set up a flow for webinar and now realised that I can’t send out my notifications before or after the webinar date, frustrating!
So disappointing @Klayvio. This will probably be the reason I leave and use a more intuitive, and customisable flow builder.
Yes, this needs to be fixed as everyone is doing Webinars now and being able to set a flow email to send by ‘date’ is everything!!
Better get your act together on this one Klaviyo or you will lose customers.
