Schedule an email campaign specified by the campaignId
path parameter to run and be sent out. Define the date and time that the email campaign will be submitted to the send queue (in ISO 8601 format) using the scheduled_date
property. You can create a schedule only for an email campaign in DRAFT or SENT status.
When scheduling a campaign, please provide a lead time of at least 20 minutes; otherwise, you may receive an invalid schedule error response.
NOTE: The account must be in good standing to be able to schedule and send an email campaign.
To send a campaign "now", only include {} in the JSON request payload. When using the Send Now function, the response body will show the time that the scheduling request was made, not the time the email campaign will be sent. Send Now puts the campaign into the queue for the next send window, which occur on a regular basis, generally every 5 minutes.
You can resend an existing campaign that has a SENT status using this endpoint. The campaign will only be sent to contacts that have been added to the contact lists since the last time the campaign was sent (based on the last_run_date
value)
