# Schedule a Campaign for Future Delivery in SendWhale

> Use the SendWhale campaign calendar to pick a date, time, and timezone for your campaign — then reschedule or cancel it any time before it sends.

Scheduling a campaign lets you plan your sends in advance and deliver them at the time most likely to reach your audience. SendWhale's campaign calendar gives you a visual overview of all scheduled campaigns in your workspace so you can avoid gaps or overlaps in your sending cadence.

## How to schedule a campaign

<Steps>
  <Step title="Open the campaign calendar">
    Navigate to the campaign calendar from your campaign's detail page, or go directly to **/app/calendar**. The calendar shows all currently scheduled campaigns in your workspace.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Select your campaign">
    Use the campaign preview cards to find and select the campaign you want to schedule.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Choose a date and time">
    Pick the date and time you want the campaign to send. The calendar shows your existing scheduled sends so you can choose a time that fits your cadence.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Select a timezone">
    Choose the timezone your scheduled time is based on. Select the timezone that makes sense for your audience — most teams use their primary market's timezone.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Confirm the schedule">
    Review the full scheduled date, time, and timezone, then confirm. The campaign is now scheduled and visible on the workspace calendar.
  </Step>
</Steps>

## Rescheduling a campaign

You can change the date or time of a scheduled campaign at any point before it begins sending:

1. Open the campaign from the calendar or your campaign list
2. Select **Reschedule**
3. Choose a new date, time, and timezone
4. Confirm the update

The campaign moves to the new time slot on the calendar.

## Cancelling a scheduled campaign

To cancel a scheduled send before it goes out:

1. Open the scheduled campaign
2. Select **Cancel Schedule**
3. Confirm the cancellation

The campaign returns to **Draft** status and is removed from the calendar. You can reschedule it or edit it further before sending.

<Warning>
  Cancellation is only possible before the campaign begins sending. Once delivery starts, the campaign cannot be recalled. See [Send Campaign](/campaigns/send) for details on cancelling a queued send.
</Warning>

<Note>
  Meeting booking pages at `/book/:slug` and the workspace scheduler at `/app/scheduler` are a separate feature for booking meetings with contacts. They are not related to campaign scheduling and have no effect on your email calendar.
</Note>
