# 🛑 Blocking Your Calendar — How to Stop Emails & Follow-Ups on Specific Dates (Holidays, Travel, Events)

## 🔧 Step-by-Step: Block Sending Days

## 1. Go to Settings

Click **Settings** in the left-hand menu of your dashboard.

## 2. Stay on the Account Page

Under Account Settings, scroll until you see:

**“Block Sending on Smart Pitch.”**

## 3. Select the Dates You Want to Block

You’ll see a calendar where you can toggle dates on or off:

* **U.S. holidays appear in purple by default** (already blocked)
* Deselect any holiday you want to allow sending on
* Select any additional dates you want to stop PodPitch from sending (holidays, company closures, travel, etc.)

## 4. Click Save Changes

After selecting or deselecting dates, click **Save Changes** to confirm.

## 5. You’re All Set!

PodPitch will now **pause all initial sends and follow-ups** on the dates you selected.  
Outreach resumes automatically the following day.
