Schedule batch delivery / send emails later

How to schedule a mail merge?

When you're ready with your YAMM campaign, click 'Delay delivery':

Specify your delivery date and time to schedule your campaign:

Click 'Schedule merge' to validate.

You will then get a notification that summarizes when your emails will be sent out, and a link to the web app to check your campaign status:

In your Google Sheets, you'll see the 'SCHEDULED' mention under the 'Merge status' column. This reminds you that these rows will be processed later:

Leave some quota for other campaigns (optional)

If you schedule for a large number of emails (which exceeds your daily quota), you can also tell YAMM to leave some quota (for other emails).

For example:

• Your mailing list contains 5,000 addresses
• Your daily quota is 1,500 emails / 24 hours
• You enter 'Leave some quota: 200'

YAMM will only send 1,300 emails at the specified time. We will send the remaining scheduled emails when your quota renews (and again, it will only send 1,300 emails until the scheduled mail merge is completed):

Cancel your scheduled campaign

Simply click the button below to access your dashboard from the web app, and click 'CANCEL CAMPAIGN':

Then open your spreadsheet again, and delete the whole 'Merge status' column. To do so, right click on the appropriate column, then select 'Delete column':

If some batches have already been sent previously, you can simply delete the 'SCHEDULED' mentions after canceling it from the web app.

How many campaigns can I schedule in advance?

You can only schedule one campaign at a time. If you try to schedule more than one, a warning will be displayed.

So if you click on 'Schedule merge' again, it will cancel the previous one (even if you can still see 'SCHEDULED' on the first one, under 'Merge status'):

For example, you have to wait until all the scheduled emails for your mail merge 1 have been sent, to be able to schedule again for your mail mege 2 etc.

The scheduled mail merge is not being sent out

Several reasons can explain why your scheduled campaign is not sent out at the specified time:

• You have deleted your draft in Gmail, or your spreadsheet. In that case YAMM will not be able to deliver your scheduled emails. You can modify your draft as long as you do it before the specified time, and YAMM will send the latest version, but don't delete it! You will also be warned in YAMM UI:

• YAMM can only check your spreadsheet every hour. So your emails might be sent out up to 1 hour after the time you have specified. The delivery time only is an estimated time.
• A scheduled mail merge is also counted against your quota, so it can take even more time for your emails to be delivered if you don't have enough quota. To avoid any mistakes regarding your quota calculations, you are not able to schedule if you don't have enough quota anymore, even if you are trying to schedule for more than 24 hours later, when your quota renews.
• You have scheduled your campaign with multiple accounts. In that case, if account 1 has already sent a first batch, YAMM will then send the other batches from other accounts, before resending from account 1. Learn more about this option: 'Schedule a mail merge from multiple accounts'
