Future Scheduled Messages

 

Setting up Scheduled Messages for Your Clients

To set up a scheduled message for your client, you start in the usual way by clicking the little email icon next to their profile picture on their Client Page:

This brings up the message-composing window. You'll notice the "Send later..." button at the bottom of the composing window:

When clicked, you'll be able to select the day and time you’d like your message to be sent:

One you put in the day and time, click 'Send Via Email' to schedule the message.

Viewing Future Scheduled Messages

Whenever you’ve got one or more messages that are scheduled to be sent to your client, you’ll notice the email button gains a little extra button:

Clicking this little blue clock reveals whatever messages you have scheduled that are yet to go out:

Deleting and Modifying Scheduled Messages

You can cancel any scheduled messages here by clicking the trash icon. That deletes the message fully. 

If you want to view (and perhaps modify) the contents of a message you’ve got scheduled, click the edit icon.  

Doing so brings up the full compose window once again, wherein you can even revise decisions to CC yourself (or not) and add to the client’s Stream (or not):

Scheduled messages you set to CC yourself will arrive in your inbox at the same time your client receives them.

 

Scheduling Messages for Groups

There's no way to schedule Messages for Groups quite like there is for individual clients, but there is one workaround that will let you schedule Messages and anything else, and that is a Course.

By creating a Day-based Course, even if just for a single Group (making a blank Course and then creating a spin-off version of it for a Group is a nice way to do this), you can schedule one or more Messages, as well as all the other things that Courses allow you to put on the timeline.

 

 

Automating Scheduled Message Sequences

If you find yourself scheduling multiple sets of messages often, or if you want the same scheduled messages to go to multiple clients, you may want to consider using a Course (not visible to the participants) to facilitate this email drip.
