Decide which days of the week. In this case let’s do Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday.
note tip TIP You can set your cadence to run every day by picking Repeats: Weekly / Every: 1 Week / On: all days. Now pick the Time. Check the box if you want to use Recipient Time Zone(i.e., deliver according to local time zones), then click Save.
note caution CAUTION The content will go out on the date you select for the first cast, so make sure it coincides with the day of the week you choose; otherwise it will go out twice in the first week. -
Hover over the cadence. You’ll see what days future casts will go out.
note note NOTE In this example, an email will go out on Thursday. We then skip a week, and send again on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday of the following week. And then we loop again.
That’s it! Keep reading if you want to setup a monthly cadence.
