Schedules are used for automatically generated Bulk Sms's. They determine when a Bulk will generate a batch of sms's. When the Bulk is initially created, it will determine the first valid generation date from the schedule. Whever the Bulk is generated, the Bulk will also determine the next generation date from the assigned schedule.
Once a valid date cannot be determined, Once Off, end of specific date list reached or end constraint date reached, the Bulk will be marked as complete and will no longer generate sms.
Five types of schedules are available, namely Daily, Weekly (specify day of week), Monthly (specify day of month), Annually (specify month and day of month) and Specific Dates (specify list of specific dates)
Schedules can also be constrained, if required, where the Bulk will only start generating after the start constraint date and will stop generating after the end constraint date.
Please note that Bulks sms can be sent without an assigned schedule. In this case, the Bulk is treated as a 'once off' send.
