How to send messages at the “end of every month” with Journey Builder.

Configuring entry schedules

Set the entry schedule for Journey Builder to the “31st of every month”. For months that do not have a 31st day, this automatically sends the last day of the month (30th or 28th).

Behavior example

Sending is adjusted according to the date of the end of the month as shown below.

• January: Sent at 15:00 on January 31
• February: Sent at 15:00 on February 28 (* Automatically brought forward to the 28th because there is not 31 days in February)
• March: Sent at 15:00 on March 31
• April: Sent at 15:00 on April 30 (* Automatically brought forward to the 30th because there is not 31 days in April)

Handling when there is not 31 days in the first month of the start of a journey

Handle cases of the first month not containing 31 days (such as when starting a journey in February) as follows.

Start date

Select the end of the month, February 28, from the calendar.

2. Next day 

Select “31st of every month”.
