Scheduling a Message

Updated 9/3/2026

Instead of sending a message immediately, you can schedule it to be delivered at a specific date and time in the future. The system will send it automatically within one hour of your chosen time.

How to Schedule a Message

  1. Navigate to Administer Site > Modules > Messaging > Email List > Drafts.
  2. Click the action menu (3 dots) next to the message you want to schedule.
  3. Click Schedule....
  4. In the dialog that appears:
    • Choose a Date using the calendar picker. The date must be today or later.
    • Choose an Hour from the dropdown (available hours range from 12:00 AM to 11:00 PM).
  5. Click Schedule Send.
  6. A confirmation appears showing the scheduled date and time.

Note: The selected time must be at least one hour from right now. The message will send within one hour of your chosen time — for example, if you schedule for 10:00 AM, it will be sent between 10:00 AM and 11:00 AM.

Rescheduling a Scheduled Message

If you need to change the send time:

  1. Navigate to the Scheduled sub-tab.
  2. Click the action menu next to the message.
  3. Click Reschedule....
  4. Choose a new date and time and click Schedule Send.

Cancelling a Schedule

If you decide not to send at the scheduled time and want to return the message to draft status:

  1. Navigate to the Scheduled sub-tab.
  2. Click the action menu next to the message.
  3. Click Cancel Schedule.
  4. A confirmation dialog asks whether you are sure. Click Cancel Schedule to confirm, or Keep Schedule to leave it as-is.
  5. The message moves back to the Drafts tab, where you can edit or delete it.

Note: Cancelling a schedule does not delete the message. It simply returns it to draft status so you can make changes or reschedule it.
