Send and Schedule Campaigns

Send immediately or schedule a campaign for later.

What this does

Campaigns can send immediately or at a scheduled date/time. You can also pause, resume, or cancel a send.

After a campaign is scheduled or sent, the editor switches to a locked review mode so the exact audience and email that were queued stay consistent.

Before you start

  • Make sure Estimated recipients is greater than 0.
  • Confirm the email design is ready. Use Send a Test Email first.
  • Make sure an email is linked in Campaign Email Settings and saved with real content.

Steps

1

Choose when to send

In Sending time, choose one:


  • Send immediately when confirmed

  • Send on specific date
2

Pick a date if scheduling

If you selected Send on specific date, choose Pick date & time.

3

Review before confirming

Click Review Send (or Review Schedule) and confirm audience, timing, and email readiness.

4

Confirm send

Use Send now or Schedule campaign in the confirmation dialog.

Manage a send in progress

After confirming a send, open the Performance tab to monitor progress.

Use the Send status panel to:

  • Pause a scheduled or sending campaign
  • Resume a paused campaign
  • Cancel a scheduled, sending, or paused campaign
  • Unschedule to Edit for scheduled campaigns when you need to return to draft mode
  • Retry failed recipients after a send
  • Review Recent failure reasons for the latest failed recipients

If a campaign is already in review mode and you want to send a changed version, use Duplicate Campaign.

Review mode details

When a campaign is scheduled or has already started:

  • The setup tab becomes read-only.
  • The audience and recipient count shown are the saved send snapshot for that run.
  • The email preview shows the exact sent snapshot when available.
  • The Contacts tab shows recipient-level status for that run (with search/filter/export tools).

Status meanings

  • Draft: saved but not scheduled or sent
  • Scheduled: queued to send at a specific time
  • Sending: actively sending batches
  • Sent: send completed
  • Paused: send paused by a user
  • Canceled: send canceled by a user
  • Archived: campaign is archived

If send confirmation is blocked

If you see an error that the campaign email is empty, open Campaign Email Settings, add content in the email designer, save, and retry.
