# Do Automated Text Messages Go Out on Weekends?

When running automated campaigns, there may be a time when a text is scheduled to go out on a weekend day/night based on your campaign rules.

If a text from your campaign falls on the weekend, it will go out on the following Monday at the start of your business hours. Business hours are set under **Company > Settings > General > Business Hours Open** and **Business Hours Close.**

Daily Notifications will automatically go out over the weekend. These can be manually pushed through the [Daily Notifications](/v1/docs/tracking-and-resending-daily-notifications) report if you do not want them to automatically go out over the weekend.

If you prefer to take this route, make sure the wording in your Day Before Notification - Daily/Weekly template reflects the job date rather than terms like “tomorrow”. This template is used for the one day before, two days before, three days before, and the week before, so using the job date can help make the template more flexible. You can find this template by going to **Company > Settings > Template.**
