Scheduling sending times

In order to provide some flexibility regarding different message sending strategies our platform has an integrated message scheduling functionality. This allows users to structure their outbound traffic according to their marketing needs, recipient lists, holidays and other business affecting factors. The "Time" section is located at the bottom of the page.

Each user has the option to adjust the following parameters:

Send now or later;
Send evenly over a time period;
Send periodically X amount each Y minutes;
Split into multiple portions.

Send now or later

Simply select between the two options, both of which are followed by the same dropdown menu offering a further choice for sending customization - "all at once", "until" or "periodically".

Send evenly over a time period

Choosing the "until" option will allow the user to specify the end time. This can be applied when sending both immediately ("now") and later.

Send periodically X amount each Y minutes

This can be applied when sending both immediately ("now") and later.

Split into multiple portions

You can further add and customize the sending times, periods and amounts by clicking on the "+" button.
