How to Schedule a Campaign
- Build your campaign as normal (name, recipients, template, subject).
- On the final confirmation screen, instead of clicking Send Now, select Schedule for Later.
- A date and time picker appears.
- Select the date and time you want the campaign to send.
- Click Schedule Campaign.
- The campaign status changes to Scheduled in the Campaigns list.
Timezone Note — Important
Vedain's server runs on UTC (Coordinated Universal Time). When you schedule a campaign, convert your local time to UTC:
- •India (IST): Subtract 5 hours 30 minutes from IST to get UTC. If you want to send at 10:00 AM IST, schedule for 4:30 AM UTC.
- •UAE (GST): Subtract 4 hours. 10:00 AM GST = 6:00 AM UTC.
- •US Eastern (EST): Add 5 hours. 10:00 AM EST = 3:00 PM UTC.
Cancelling a Scheduled Campaign
- Go to Campaigns and find the scheduled campaign (shown with a clock icon).
- Open the campaign.
- Click Cancel Schedule.
- The campaign returns to Draft status and will not send.
Rescheduling a Campaign
Cancel the current schedule first (steps above), then go back into the campaign, update anything you need, and schedule again with the new time.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I edit a campaign after scheduling it?
Cancel the schedule first, make your edits (template, subject, recipients), then reschedule. You cannot edit a campaign while it is in Scheduled status.
What happens if I am logged out when the scheduled time arrives?
Campaigns send automatically on the server — they do not require you to be logged in. Vedain's backend handles the scheduled send regardless of your session status.
Can I schedule campaigns weeks or months in advance?
Yes. You can schedule a campaign for any future date. There is no maximum scheduling window.
