The ability to schedule messages is one of the best features of Message Poster. One of the most important aspects of advertising is repetition. Using the scheduler you can setup your messages to post on a regular basis, daily, weekly, or monthly. Thus putting your message in front of your customers on a regular basis.

(Note: We do not recommend daily postings as this can get you in trouble for spamming.)

To schedule a message for posting, go to the MESSENGER menu and select schedules. Now click the NEW button and you will see several fields appear. The first is SCHEDULE NAME which is a logical name for you to referrence this scheduled posting by.  Next is the message you want to post, you need to have saved a message in the Create & Send Messages window. Click the ... button to search for your message.

Next select how often you want it to post, if you select weekly or monthly, then you will need to also select the day of the week/month that you wish it to post on.

(Note: Please remember the Message Poster software must be running to execute scheduled items.)

Click SAVE to save the schedule and add it to the posting que. The schedule will now appear in the list above.
