Mailings: Need Approval: Edit Mailing: Schedule

This page allows you to schedule when your mailing should be sent, and to rewrite the date and time sent to be the time when actually sent. You may also schedule your mailing to be resent.

The Mailings: Need Approval: Edit Mailing pages are identical to the Mailings: Scheduled: Edit Mailing pages.

Scheduled send date

By default, your mailing will be sent when you approve it. If you'd like to schedule it to be sent at a particular date and time, enter it here in one of the following formats:

YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS

MM/DD/YY

YYYY-MM-DD

You must specify a date; otherwise, the date will be set to be 1900/01/01, and the message will be sent immediately.

Rewrite Date When Sent

By default, the date on your mailing will be the date and time it is actually sent. If you'd like it to be the date the mailing was created, select No here.

Resend After This Many Days

By default, your mailing will be sent only once. If you'd like it to be resent periodically, enter the number of days here.

This feature is useful if you are sending a message to a segment which is constantly changing (e.g., all members who joined exactly one month ago today). It's also useful if you're sending the same message but with conditional content that always changes (e.g., a list of overdue books).

Discussion lists can also periodically send out a FAQ about the list to remind members about the list's rules.

Don't Attempt After Date

Allows you to set a final cutoff date for sending the mailing. This setting will override the "resend after this many days" setting, and is intended to put an endcap on mailings sent. This can be useful, for instance, if a marketing campaign has a coupon which expires on a given date, and the content of the mailing would no longer be valid after a certain date. Enter the date in YYYY-MM-DD format.
