Configure a Sequence Sending Schedule

Overview

Sequences are outreach campaigns that you can use to reach out to contacts over a planned period of time with sequential touchpoints like phone calls, emails, social media engagement, and other tasks. Use sequence schedules to control the day and time that you send out sequence emails. You can configure multiple sending schedules for different sequences, dependent on audience timezones or contact expectations. Sending schedules help optimize the possibility of positive interactions.

Check out the following sections to create and edit sequence schedules.
