How To Schedule a Broadcast

To schedule a broadcast follow these steps:

Or
Option 2: Navigate to Groundhogg > Broadcasts > Schedule Email Broadcast.

You can then select the time you want the broadcast to go out by selecting "Later" and picking a date and time. Or to send it right away by selecting "Now".
If you enable " Send in the contact's local time", the email will be sent at the given hour in their local time zone (if a time zone is recorded for that contact). This option has no effect if "Now" is selected.
