Rescheduling an email campaign lets you change the planned delivery date or time without creating a new campaign. ZipLeads supports rescheduling for Simple Schedule, Batch Schedule and RSS Schedule campaigns.
TLDR: If a campaign is scheduled but has not been sent, go to Marketing > Emails > Campaigns > Email Campaigns, open the campaign's action menu and select Reschedule. Update the schedule, click Save, then click Schedule to create the bulk actions. Do this at least 60 minutes before the scheduled send time.
What is Email Campaign Rescheduling?
Email campaign rescheduling lets you change the scheduled delivery date or time for a campaign that has not been sent yet. You can reschedule straight from the Email Campaigns page, or go back to the scheduling step while editing the campaign.
Rescheduling is available for:
Simple Schedule campaigns
Batch Schedule campaigns
RSS Schedule campaigns
Key Benefits of Email Campaign Rescheduling
Rescheduling gives you control over an upcoming campaign when its original delivery time no longer works.
Change an upcoming send: Move a scheduled campaign to a different future date or time.
Keep the existing campaign: Adjust the delivery schedule without creating a replacement campaign.
Get to the schedule quickly: Use the campaign action menu to open the scheduling step directly.
Prerequisites and Limitations
Before you reschedule a campaign, check that it is still scheduled and that there is enough time left before it is due to send.
The campaign must already be scheduled for Reschedule to appear in its action menu.
Finish rescheduling at least 60 minutes before the campaign's execution time.
Allow enough time for the system to process the new schedule. Avoid last-minute changes.
Important: Saving your changes does not complete the reschedule. You must also click Schedule so ZipLeads can create the new bulk actions for the revised schedule.
