Schedule a Message

You can set a future time or day to send your message.

This can be useful if you have a large message or bulk messages that you want to send during non-peak hours. For more information on why this is important, see Manage Message Size.

  1. Launch the New Message Tool, and prepare your message as usual.
  2. Click the Advanced tab.
  3. Add the Start Date and Time. This is the future date and time you want to send the message.
    Note: Schedule the message to send at a future date or time according to the authenticated user's timezone. If the user's value isn't set, the system uses the Domain timezone. You can schedule messages to send within the next six months, based on the Message Archival schedule.

A scheduled message creates a Message record and individual Recipient records.

If you need to changes a scheduled message, see Managing Created Messages.
