Delaying Normal Broadcasts During an Email Funnel

This works when you want to exclude them from receiving broadcasts while they’re in the middle of the initial email series they opted in for or if they are in a sales funnel.

To do this you’ll want to add a tag to the people in the sequence, exclude that tag from all broadcasts, and then remove the tag when the sequence is finished.
