How do I schedule a Broadcast?

You can create messages and have them sent as broadcasts at specific dates/times. We'll send the message without you having to login to your account again to send it.

Step By Step Instructions

1. To access your message, click the "Messages" tab and select "Drafts." Then, click the "Schedule" button next to the draft that you want to send.
   
   
   
   
2. If you want to share your message, click the "Edit" button for the sharing section.
   
   
   
   On the Broadcast Settings page, you can choose whether or not to post the message to your Newsletter Hub using the Post your message to your Newsletter Hub check box.
   
   
   
   Then, if sharing is on, you can choose to tweet the message or post the archive link to your Facebook page using the drop-down menus in the Social Media section.
   
   
   
   When you're satisfied, click "Apply."

   When you're satisfied, click "Apply."
   
   
4. To schedule your message to go out on a future date, click "Edit" under the "When should this message be sent?" section. Here, use the calendar to choose the date you'd like your message to be sent. You'll be able to see the dates, some notable holidays, as well as days you've scheduled other messages to be sent. Just click on the date that you would like the message scheduled for. From the left-hand sidebar, you can choose the time you would like the broadcast sent.
