What you will learn
The campaign delivery modes and how send pacing protects your reputation on large lists.Send now or schedule
On the Delivery tab:- Send now — when you confirm on Review, the campaign is queued and goes out shortly (the badge shows Queued until the send starts).
- Schedule — pick a date and time; the campaign shows as Scheduled and fires on its own at that time.
- Smart send — shows as Coming soon; it isn’t available yet.
Send pacing
Pacing spreads the send over a window instead of releasing everything in the same minute:
When to use it: large lists, or a base still in warmup. Sudden volume spikes are one of the classic triggers for blocks at mailbox providers — spreading the same volume over a few hours delivers the same result without the spike.
Two behaviors worth knowing:
- Pacing is self-correcting. If one slice falls behind, the next one compensates — the campaign finishes within the chosen window, with nothing left over.
- No one receives twice. Duplicate protection is per recipient, independent of how the send is sliced.
