Stage 3 is headed "Schedule Your Campaign", with the instruction "Decide when to send your campaign". It offers two choices.

ChoiceEffect
Send immediatelyThe campaign sends as soon as it is created. No further fields appear.
Schedule for laterReveals Date, Time and Timezone. All three must be set.

To schedule a campaign for later:

  1. Select Schedule for later.
  2. Select the Date field, labelled Pick a date, and choose a date from the calendar. The calendar opens on the current month and weeks begin on Sunday. Every date before today is disabled, so a campaign cannot be scheduled into the past. The chosen date is then displayed in full, for example August 26th, 2026.
  3. Enter the Time.
  4. Set the Timezone. The dropdown offers 42 zones.
  5. Select Next Step to move to Review, or Back to return to Audience.

Next Step stays greyed out until both Date and Time hold a value. Selecting a date alone is not enough.
