Send Delays for Batch Sending

  • When sending SMS in bulk this could be overwhelming for reception/booking processes.

  • This section allows you to automatically space out these invites so they can triggered simply and quickly but sent out in a way which is helpful for other Practice Staff.

  1. Select the number of SMS messages to send in each batch (from 1 to 9999)

  2. Select how long to delay between sending (minutes, hours, days)

  3. Select the hours to send between

  • Note that the delay will use the date/time of the bulk sending being started as the anchor. e.g. sending 200 messages (in batches of 50 every 1 hour between 08:00 and 16:00) at 13:52 will send 50 at 13:52, then 50 at 14:52, then 50 at 15:52 then 50 at 08:52 the next morning.
