  1. Select the Message profile — standard or manual. If you select manual, you can choose to disable the global control group.
  2. Fill in the Sending timeframe fields.
Use the Date to specify when the campaign will begin sending: immediately after saving or according to a schedule. The Sending interval is the interval in which your customers will receive the notification. Note that their time zones will be taken into account. If you set only the sending hours, messages will be sent immediately (as quickly as possible). Sending speed is unlimited by default. You can throttle sending speed as necessary. Relevancy is the timeframe in which your bulk campaign is valid. Specify an interval (for example, 3 days from the time the message was sent) or a date (for example, until 01/07/2023 00:00 (UTC-05:00) America/New York). 04_mobilepush More on the Relevancy section: To send mobile push notifications, Maestra sends a push notification to Firebase or APNs, then Firebase or APNs sends this push to the app. The period specified in the Relevancy section is applied to both these steps with the countdown beginning at the same time. The only difference is what you receive when the sending period expires. For example, if you select a 3-day Relevancy period, you will either: a) see a “Not sent” status if Maestra fails to send your push notification to Firebase or APNs during these 3 days; b) get no Firebase or APNs failure information in your project if Maestra successfully sent the push to Firebase/ APNs and they failed to send the push notification during its time-to-live (TTL) — this is because Firebase and APNs do not send delivery failure statuses to Maestra.
