Can anyone tell me how I can schedule a Segment based email send? At the moment if I want to plan an email to go out at a certain date and time I am having to resort to building a campaign which seems a little overkill for a one-off send.

I was thinking that using the publish date might work if i set the date and time to publish the email but that doesn’t trigger the email send.

Any advice you can share?

Publish date does trigger email send on time and date you set it to.

Do you have the set up cronjob for email send?
