Creating a Broadcast: Delivering your Broadcast

"Delivering a Broadcast" involves choosing when and how your message is sent to your audience. You can send it immediately ("Now"), schedule it for a specific date and time ("Later"), or set it to repeat at regular intervals ("Recurring"). You can also set up Nudges, push notifications, and Reach Everyone settings (emails, and SMS messages) to ensure your message reaches your audience through their preferred channels.
