Schedule a Campaign

You can schedule a campaign to send at a date and time you choose, up to 12 months ahead. The schedule time selection uses your account time zone. Cobalt reviews every campaign before it sends to ensure it meets carrier requirements and to help avoid SHAFT violations.

1. In the campaign composer, choose your audience and write your text, then click Schedule & send.

2. In the Schedule & send window, click Schedule, then pick a Date and a Time. The Sends line shows your choice with your time zone, for example Nov 20, 10:00 AM EST.

3. Check Audience, Recipients, Per message and Estimated cost, then click Schedule campaign. You see "Campaign scheduled."

4. Find the campaign on the Campaigns page. It shows Pending Cobalt Approval while Cobalt reviews it.

5. Click the campaign to see its send time next to Scheduled under Details.

Once approved, the campaign sends at the time you chose. If Smart sending is on for the campaign, Cobalt applies your limit when the campaign sends, not when you schedule it.

You cannot edit a campaign while it waits for review ("This campaign is pending Cobalt approval and can’t be edited right now.") or after Cobalt approves it. To change the time, delete the campaign from the row menu on the Campaigns page and create it again. If Cobalt denies a campaign, you can fix it and schedule it again.
