# Schedule Delivery

In the Notification, Newsletter or Invitation, click on the **Message Setup** tab and click the **Schedule Mailout** to schedule the mailout.

Select the **Date and Time** you want your **Invitation/Newsletter/Notification** to be sent out.

Click the **Add to Schedule** button.

Pending messages are sent every fifteen minutes, so if you schedule this mailout now then you might still need to wait several minutes before delivery is complete.

Limit the number of recipients to 10,000. Mailouts larger than this tend to trigger spam filters. To help prevent this, Messages are released from the system in batches to lower the chance of being flagged by a spam filter. Large mailouts may be released over several hours. If you need to send to more than 10,000 recipients, consider sending in multiple batches.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.shiftiq.com/help/messages/sending-mailouts/schedule-delivery.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
