How to schedule text messages to be sent later

You can schedule text messages to be sent at a later date and set up recurring campaigns if needed. Textmagic does not support sending SMS drip campaigns.

Make sure that you have enough credit to schedule the message – just Buy SMS credit in advance. You will be charged for the scheduled message upon sending (not upon scheduling). If you don’t have enough credit when the sending time approaches, your message will not be sent.

Schedule text messages

Select Compose from the main menu.
Enter your recipients.
Select the number that you want your text messages to be delivered from. (Learn more about Sender settings).

Schedule a text message to be sent just once.
