Scheduler: One Time & Daily
When you set up a schedule (via Send Later or + New Schedule), you configure the trigger. Choose a single one-time send, or a recurring daily send that repeats automatically.
One-time or recurring daily
The Timer setting decides how often the task runs. Pick whichever matches your message.
One Time
Sends once, at the exact date and time you set. Best for a single announcement, an event reminder, or a one-off blast.
Daily (recurring)
Repeats every day at the same time until you disable it. Ideal for daily reminders, alerts, or repeating campaigns.
