For both people and groups, there are three message scheduling options:

  • one-time messages

  • recurring messages

  • schedule out messages in bulk

2023.12.13 Update

Once you have typed something into the message box, the Send button will turn purple. This means it is now active. Notice the arrow to the right side. When you hover on it, the tooltip reads More Options. Click on the arrow to reveal the Schedule Message option.

Now proceed to schedule your message...
