How does the time delay step work?

Time delay steps allow you to wait for a number of hours, days, or weeks before completing the next step.

For example, you may want to wait two days (48 hours) after a client completes their appointment before sending them a message.

Time delay steps include the following settings:

  • Wait until certain day of the week: Enable this toggle to select the days when you’d like to complete the next step. For example, you may prefer to send text messages Monday through Saturday when your business is open.

  • Wait until certain time of day: Enable this toggle to select the time when you’d like to complete the next step. For example, you may prefer to wait until 10 AM to start sending text messages to clients.

Keep in mind that your time delay may increase if you use the settings above.

For example, if you wait 3 days before sending a text, the client might not receive that text until 5 days later if the following is true:

  1. The client completes their appointment on Monday at 1 PM.

  2. Wait 3 days and wait until Saturday at 10 AM.

  3. Send the client a text message. The client will receive this text message on Saturday at 10 AM (5 days later).

What is the difference between Mangomint’s Flows app and other external automation apps such as Klaviyo?

The Flows app allows you to create and manage automated sequences directly in Mangomint—no integration or external app is required. The Flows app also offers pre-built flows that you can customize with your own messaging and settings.

With the Flows app, you can build custom flows triggered by different events in Mangomint, including:
