How can we help you?

ContactMonkey's Send Later feature lets you compose an email now and schedule it to send at a future date and time. This is perfect for coordinating with different timezones, ensuring messages arrive at optimal engagement times, or preparing communications in advance.

Before you can schedule an email, you must first create and save your draft. If you're new to this process, learn how by reading this article.

Scheduling Your Email

Once your email is finalized, you can schedule it directly from the ContactMonkey Add-in.

1. Open a New Message in Outlook
2. Add your recipients in the To field and populate your subject line
3. Open the ContactMonkey Add-in and insert your desired email
4. Click the clock icon to the right of Send & Track
5. Click the calendar text box and select the date and time the email will send
6. Click Schedule to confirm. Your email is now queued to send at the selected time.

Note: All scheduled sends are based on the timezone set in your ContactMonkey profile settings. EST is set as the default timezone -- if you reside or send from a different timezone, please ensure that this is updated by clicking your name at the top right → Settings. Organizations with List Management may also refer to the Timezone Sending article.
