Send Scheduled Messages
With scheduled messaging you can set messages to go out at the exact date and time you want them to.
To make use of this service you need to first enable it.
To enable this feature:
- Log into your account and click on 'Other features' in the 'Advanced Features' section.
- Click the checkbox next to 'Scheduling', and then click on the 'update' button.
You are now set up to send scheduled messages.
To send a scheduled message, do the following:
- Go to 'Send SMS' and select either 'Send Messages to Individuals', Send Messages to a Group', or
'Send Multiple Messages from File Upload'.
- After typing in or uploading your message tick the box that says
'Schedule this message?'.
- Type or use the calendar to specify the time and date that you want
the message to go out. The date/time is set according to the time zone that your account is
configured for.
- You can type a description for the scheduled message which will be
shown in the scheduled message history to help you identify your
scheduled messages.
- Click on send message. You will be told that'Your message has been
scheduled for later sending.'
You can view the messages that you have scheduled by clicking on
'Scheduled messages' under 'Message History'. Should you want a scheduled message to be deleted, be sure to notify us at least 24 hours before the message is due to go out.
