Original request details:
Current System: The current delay block allows users to set delays in seconds, minutes, hours, days, and weeks. However, it lacks the ability to specify the exact time of day or select specific days of the week for the delay to end.
Suggested Improvement: Add two new options to the delay block for more precise scheduling:
Delay until a specific time of day: Allow users to select a specific time of day for the delay to end. This option should include the ability to choose any timezone, potentially using the recipient's timezone for even more personalized timing.
Delay until specific days of the week: Introduce the ability to select or deselect specific days of the week (Monday through Sunday) for when the action should be executed. This allows for automation flows to be paused on days when engagement might be less effective or not desired.
