Introduction
Once all steps in the SMS workflow have been validated, the "Schedule" tab for the campaign becomes available.
If any of these steps have not been validated, the "Schedule" tab will not be accessible.
Scheduling an Automatic Campaign
The following fields must be filled out:
- Frequency: weekly or monthly.
-
Sending days:
- If the frequency is weekly: select the day of the week.
-
If the frequency is monthly:
- On the Nth day, every N days of the month (e.g., the 15th of the month, every 2 months);
- On the nth day of the week of the month, every so many months (e.g., the second Thursday of the month, every 3 months).
By checking every day of the week, the campaign will be sent every day.
- The send time (and desired time zone).
- The activation period: start and end dates for mailings.
- The routing duration (optional): if this value is not specified, emails are sent at a preconfigured default rate (typically 50,000 emails per hour, but this can be adjusted upon request).
- Routing interruption period(s) (optional): Add one or more time intervals during which messages are paused (for example, between 9:00 PM and 8:00 AM).
In France, sending commercial text messages is strictly prohibited between 8:30 p.m. and 8:00 a.m. on calendar days, all day on Sundays, and on public holidays.
