Protect campaign timing with automated quiet hours.
Keep voicemail and SMS campaigns inside approved local-time windows with configurable quiet-hour controls designed to help your team avoid sending outreach at inappropriate times.
Federal telemarketing rules generally restrict certain outbound calls outside 8:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m. local time without prior consent, but state laws and other requirements may be stricter. Quiet Hours is a configuration tool and does not replace legal review.
Quiet hours for voicemail and SMS outreach.
Campaign timing should not depend on someone remembering every regional restriction before launch.

With DropVM quiet hours
Protect your campaigns with automatic quiet hours.

How quiet hours work.
DropVM uses your configured timing rules as part of the campaign eligibility process before outreach is released.
Define allowed hours
Set the time windows your organization permits for the relevant campaign or outreach type.
Determine local timing
Use available location and time-zone information to evaluate when each contact becomes eligible for outreach.
Apply campaign restrictions
Use the configured rules to prevent campaign activity from being released during blocked periods.
Queue eligible outreach
Contacts outside the allowed window can remain pending rather than being sent immediately.
Resume at the right time
When the approved local window opens, eligible outreach can continue according to your campaign settings.
Review campaign activity
Keep timing decisions visible within your broader campaign-management and compliance process.
Protect your campaign timing.
Make timing controls part of the campaign setup instead of relying on manual checks before every send.
