Schedule or cancel a send
Sending later, and stopping a send you have already scheduled.
Who can do this
Owner, Admin
Send a campaign at a chosen date and time instead of straight away — and pull it back before it goes out.
-
On the Review step of the campaign wizard, under Delivery, select Schedule for later instead of Send Now.
-
Pick a Date and Time. DonorCARE shows these in your organization’s own time zone, and won’t accept a time only a few minutes away.
-
Select Schedule Campaign. The campaign’s status changes to Scheduled, showing the time it’s due to go out.
-
To cancel, open the campaign and select Cancel Schedule. This returns it to Draft with nothing sent — edit it and schedule or send it again whenever you’re ready.
Do
- Cancel with confidence any time a campaign still shows as Scheduled — nothing has gone out yet.
Don’t
- Expect to cancel once sending has started. Cancel Schedule only exists for a campaign that’s still Scheduled — once DonorCARE starts sending, it runs to completion, the same as selecting Send Now would have. See Send an email campaign.
If something goes wrong

| Cancel Schedule isn’t there any more | The scheduled time has arrived and DonorCARE has already started sending | Nothing to cancel at that point — the campaign is on its way. Check its progress on the campaign’s own page. |
