Schedule the Action campaign action-campaign-schedule
Use the Schedule tab to define the campaign schedule.
Set start and end dates
By default, Action campaigns start once they are activated manually, and end as soon as the message has been sent once. If you do not want to execute your campaign right after its activation, you can specify a date and time at which the message should be sent using the Campaign start option.
The Campaign end option allows you to specify when a campaign should stop being executed. Outside of the specified dates, the campaign will not be executed.
Set rate control
Journey Optimizer allows you to enable rate control for outbound actions (Email, SMS, Push notifications).
This feature is particularly useful for preventing overload on downstream systems, such as landing pages or customer care platforms. For example, you can set a rate limit of 165 messages per second to ensure steady delivery without overwhelming downstream systems.
To set rate control, enable the Throttle delivery option in the Delivery settings section and specify the desired Delivery rate per second.
- Minimum delivery rate supported: 1 per second.
- Maximum delivery rate supported: 2000 per second when the 鈥淭hrottle delivery鈥 option is enabled.
Set an execution frequency
For Email, SMS, and Push notification actions, you can define a frequency at which the campaign鈥檚 message should be sent. To do this, use the Action triggers options in the campaign creation screen to specify if the campaign should be executed daily, weekly, or monthly.
Set IP warmup plans
For email actions, you can create specific IP warmup plan activation campaigns. The campaign schedule will be driven by the IP warmup plan it will be associated with, meaning that the schedule is not defined anymore in the campaign itself. Learn how to create IP warmup campaigns.
