Recipients can be added from an existing user list but also by creating a new mailing list.
Select the day from which the message will be sent (1), the duration of the campaign (2) and then indicate the working hours of your companies (3).
# Only for the channel Skype
You can schedule the sending of the message when the recipients are "available" on Skype, or push the message when the status of the recipients is "available", "absent" or "busy" in Skype.
The programmed message is sent randomly and not at the same time to all recipients. When a campaign lasts several days, here is the sending process in case of absence of the recipient:
- At a pre-calculated time
- 10 minutes later
- At the exact time after the time of the first message (for example at 2:27 p.m. then at 3:00 p.m.)
- The next day during opening hours
This process is repeated 3 times, after this, the message will then be unprogrammed.
Once the campaign is over, you will find in the "Campaigns" tab a report to evaluate the success of your communication. For example, the click engagement measures the number of people who clicked on a link included in the sent message.
A campaign can be modified only when it has not yet been broadcast. Once it has been released, you will be able to get information about it or delete it.
