You can define a frequency at which the campaign’s message should be sent. To do this, use the Action triggers options in the campaign creation screen to specify if the campaign should be executed daily, weekly, or monthly.

If you do not want to execute your campaign right after its activation, you can specify a date and time at which the message should be sent using the Campaign start option. The Campaign end option allows you to specify when a recurring campaign should stop being executed.

Once your campaign is ready, you can review and publish it. Learn more
