Schedule a campaign

Send a campaign now or at a set date and time, and read the campaign statuses.

Updated 9 Nov 2026 2 min readNeedscampaigns.campaign:schedule

In the last step of the campaign wizard you decide when the campaign goes out: immediately, or at a date and time you pick. After that, the Campaigns list shows its status and offers the actions that make sense for it.

Choose when it sends ​

Step 3: turn off Send now to pick a date and time; the summary restates the plan.
  1. 1Send now
  2. 2Schedule

  1. In the wizard's third step, find the Schedule campaign card.

  2. Send now is on to begin with, which sends as soon as you launch; the date and time fields stay dimmed.

  3. To send later, turn Send now off and pick a Date and Time. You can't pick a date in the past.

  4. Select Schedule campaign (or Launch now if Send now is on).

The summary on the right restates the plan: either that the template "goes to N recipients ... the moment you launch", or the date it will go out.

Changing a schedule ​

You can't change or cancel a scheduled campaign's time yet. Cancel Schedule only tells you it isn't available yet and keeps the schedule, and changing the time fails because only drafts can be scheduled. Check the date and time before you select Schedule campaign. Use the Scheduled tab to list campaigns that are waiting to go out.

Statuses ​

The pill on each campaign shows where it is:

StatusMeaning
DraftSaved but never sent. Offers Send now.
ScheduledWaiting for its date and time. Shows the scheduled time.
RunningSending now. Offers Stop.
PausedStopped part-way. Only older campaigns have this status.
CompletedFinished sending.
FailedSending failed.
CancelledStopped before it finished. This is the status a campaign gets after you select Stop.
Schedule CompleteA scheduled campaign whose schedule has run, so it no longer has a time.

The status filter on the All tab offers Completed, Paused, Cancelled and Running. The Completed and Scheduled tabs filter by status. The Draft tab is different: it lists unfinished wizard drafts saved in this browser. A draft you saved with Save appears on the All tab with the status Draft.

Stop

Stop cancels a running campaign, and its status becomes Cancelled. Paused and Resume only appear on older campaigns.

Time zone ​

Scheduled times are shown in your local time in the list. Check the date and time before confirming, especially for audiences in another time zone.
