When you create a regular email and use our email checklist, you can select a date and time for delivery to your audience.
In this article, you'll learn how to schedule or pause a regular email in Mailchimp.
Here are some things to know before you begin this process.
To schedule a regular email, follow these steps.
After you schedule the email, you'll see the scheduled date and time on the Campaigns page.
Note
If you’re sending to the entire audience, or sending to a segment from your Free or Essentials plan, we'll finalize your recipient count at your email send time.
For anyone on a Standard plan or higher, your segment will take a snapshot when generated, but doesn’t automatically update before sending. To re-run your segment before a scheduled email send, click the Schedule button in the email checklist and enable the Finalize your recipients at send time feature. Email addresses added or removed between scheduling and sending will be captured.
Finalize your recipients at send time will capture newly added or removed email addresses as long as the segment isn’t edited prior to the email sending. If the segment is edited, you’ll need to re-add it to the email to ensure the email sends to the right recipients.
To pause and reschedule an email you’ve already scheduled, follow these steps.
Note
If you need to make edits to your scheduled email, be sure to pause it at least 5 minutes before its scheduled send time. If you try to pause a scheduled email that’s being prepared for delivery, it will send as scheduled.
These features are included with the Standard plan or higher. To change your plan type, visit the plans page in your account.
