More Control and Visibility Over Your Drip Schedules

April 13, 20263 min read

The Drip action has always been one of the most useful tools for sending contacts through a sequence at a controlled pace. But understanding exactly what was happening inside a drip - when batches would send, how many contacts were queued, what was affecting timing - required a lot of guesswork.

That changes with this update.

The Drip action has been upgraded with a full set of transparency and reliability improvements, giving you a clear picture of what's happening inside your drip before and after you publish.

See Your Drip Schedule Before You Publish

A live schedule preview is now available inside the Drip action during setup.

Before you publish, you can see a batch table showing each batch number and its scheduled send time - up to 10 batches previewed at once. If a Workflow Time Window is active and shifting your batch times, an inline warning surfaces directly in the setup screen so you know before anything goes live.

The time window setting is a clickable link that takes you straight to the relevant setting without leaving the screen. The preview is hidden when contacts are already queued in the drip, keeping the editing view clean.

Action Statistics, Batch Schedule and Insights

The statistics icon on the Drip action has been redesigned as a proper, easy-to-find button. Clicking it opens a detailed view of everything happening inside the drip:

  • Summary cards showing contacts currently in the drip, next batch details, and estimated send times

  • Full batch schedule table with every batch, its scheduled send time, and any active constraints affecting timing

  • Time Window setting surfaced directly inside this view with a redirect link to jump into the setting without leaving the screen

  • Status column, pagination, and contact management options - move to next step, delete, hyperlink - all consolidated in one place

When drip settings are edited on a workflow with contacts already queued, a clear note confirms that updated settings will only apply to new contacts entering the workflow.

Auto-Pause on Draft, Auto-Resume on Publish

When a workflow moves from Published to Draft with contacts queued in a Drip action, those contacts now pause for the full duration the workflow stays in Draft.

Once republished, the drip resumes from where it left off - rather than sending all queued contacts at once. Original pacing is preserved and sender reputation is protected.

Drip Narration on Hover

A tooltip now appears when you hover over the Drip action, showing you a plain-language summary of the drip configuration without having to open it. For example: "Batches of 100 contacts, every 5 minutes" or "Batches of 1,500 contacts, every 30 minutes."

Quick context at a glance - no extra clicks needed.

Why It Matters

Drip schedules previously behaved in ways that were hard to explain - Workflow Time Windows silently shifting batch times, mid-run setting changes applying only to new contacts without any indication, and workflows toggling between Published and Draft causing queued contacts to send all at once.

This update closes those gaps. You now have the visibility to understand exactly what your drip is doing, and the controls to manage it with confidence.
