Scheduling a Campaign

Set a campaign to launch automatically at a future date and time, and see how Business Hours affects when it actually sends.

Updated 9 September 2026العربية

Instead of launching a campaign immediately, you can schedule it to start automatically.

How scheduled campaigns run

Once scheduled, Waya's scheduler processes your campaign automatically at the set time — you don't need to be at your desk when it fires.

Working hours

Scheduled campaigns respect your shop's Business Hours the same way broadcasts do: if the scheduled time falls outside those hours, the campaign waits and goes out at the next open slot instead.

Steps

  1. Build your campaign

    Use the Campaign wizard to set kind, audience, and message.

  2. Pick a date and time

    Set the launch time instead of sending immediately.

  3. Confirm the schedule

    Your campaign shows as scheduled until it fires.

Planning ahead

Scheduling is useful for anything you want ready before you need it — set up a Ramadan-hours promo, a weekend multiplier, or a gift campaign timed to a slow week, and let it launch on its own instead of remembering to send it manually on the day.

Next steps

  • Set your Business Hours
  • Build a new campaign
  • Try peak-day autopilot instead

Frequently asked questions

Can I edit a scheduled campaign before it fires?

A scheduled campaign remains pending until its send time, giving you a window to review or adjust it before launch.

Does a scheduled campaign count against my active-campaign limit before it launches?

Concurrency limits govern how many campaigns are active at once; check your plan's limit in Using the Campaign wizard before scheduling several.
