You can now add a Throttle step to an automation in the builder, from the sidebar or the + button between steps.
- Set a limit, such as 10 contacts per hour or 50 contacts per day. Up to that many contacts pass the step in each hour or day and continue right away.
- Contacts over the limit wait at the step. They continue in the next hour or day that has room, spread evenly across it instead of all at once.
- Hours and days follow the automation owner’s time zone.
- Waiting contacts show as Waiting in the automation’s executions. The timeline for that step says they are held by the throttle and when they will continue.
- The limit applies however contacts enter the automation, and the step works in every kind of automation.
