The final step in your email campaign is to send the email by:
- specifying your sender from and reply-to email addresses senderemail
- choosing the recipients recip
- selecting to schedule a time and date for the mailing (or to send it immediately) and managing the mailing queue mpq (view here deletem to delete an email from the mailing queue).
...
Let's see in detail how each works.
Send now
Hitting "Send now", the mailing will start immediately and join the other mailings that are being sent out by the platform. No other action is needed by the user, who will be redirected to Send Status page.The mailing will appear in "Sending now" area of Send status, with a blinking "starting up" under "Start date", to put in evidence that the system is preparing to send out the message. This is a technical time needed for preliminary operations. These operations can last up to one minute: once finished, messages will start to go out.
Schedule for later
By activating the message schedule, you can decide whether to send at a specific date and time or whether to send the message in sequential mode. The submit button will change to "Schedule"
- Send at a specific date and time
By choosing this option, the sending will start at a specific date and time, at the same time as the other sendings in progress at that time. The sending will first appear in the "Scheduled sendings" area and will be moved to the "Sendings in progress" area at the indicated date and time. - Send sequentially
It is also possible to send campaigns sequentially (one after the other). This can be useful if you don't want to send campaigns in parallel. Sequentially scheduled shipments will be sent one after the other and you can move them in order of priority within their queue, on the Delivery Status page . The system warns, at the time of planning, if there are other sequential sendings already in progress.

---|
Please note that these "sequential" mailings will still be sent at the same time as the "immediate" mailings (those started by clicking on "Send immediately" and/or those scheduled for the date and time in which the sequential mailing starts) and other mailings that must be sent as soon as possible (automatic messages, messages via SMTP+, A/B tests etc.). The sequential submission at the top of the "sequential queue" will appear in the "Submissions in progress" area, along with the other submissions in progress at that time. The rest of the queue of sequential submissions will be displayed, in order of submission, in the "Scheduled Submissions" area. You can change the sending order of these sequential mailings by clicking the "Actions" button. |
Decide later
By clicking on "Decide later", the message will be "parked" in the "Sends to schedule" area. These mailings will require a subsequent action in order to be sent (immediately or on a schedule).
