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
- 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.
- 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." - Under Who should receive this message?, click "Edit" to select the segment of subscribers you would like to receive the message. Here, you can also include/exclude other lists.
When you're satisfied, click "Apply." - 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.
Once you have a date, time, and time zone selected, click the "Apply" button to schedule the broadcast the be sent at that time. - To add automations to your Broadcast, click the blue "Edit" button located under the, "Do you want tag automations?" section. In this section, you can choose to add or remove a tag if a subscriber has opened your message. Also, all of the links in your message will be displayed. You can choose to add or remove tags when a subscriber clicks on certain links in your message. Once you have applied or removed your tags, click the blue "Apply" button to save your changes.
- When you're done, click the "Send Message Now" button for your message to be sent immediately.
If you've scheduled your message to be sent on a specific date, the button will be listed as "Schedule Message for [specific date you've selected]".
That's it! You've now scheduled your Broadcast to send immediately or at a specific time in the future.
