# Scheduling

> Choose when your campaign email gets sent.

The Scheduling step lets you decide when your campaign is delivered — send it immediately, schedule it for a specific time, or (coming soon) let Comify pick the best time for each recipient.

1. Set a **Send date**
2. Set a **Send time**
3. Confirm the **Time zone** — defaults to your account timezone (e.g. Asia/Kolkata IST)

<Warning>
  Scheduled sends must be at least 5 minutes in the future.
</Warning>

Once everything is set, click **Schedule** to queue the campaign. You'll be returned to the campaign list where the status will show as **Scheduled**.

## Sending Immediately

Select **Send now** and click **Send now** to dispatch to your entire audience right away. Use this for time-sensitive announcements.

## Next Step

After your campaign sends, head to [Performance](/campaigns/performance) to monitor delivery and engagement metrics.
