Scheduling Messages

Scheduling Messages

Scheduled messages let you prepare posts for your group or private sends to members and have Metricgram deliver them automatically at the chosen date and time.

Creating a Scheduled Message

1. In the side menu, open Messaging > Scheduled messages.
2. Click "Create Scheduled Message".
3. Write your message content. If needed, you can also add an image and buttons.
4. Choose whether the message will be posted in the group or sent privately to members.
5. If it is a public message, choose the general channel or a topic. If it is private, you can leave it for all members, select specific members, or load a saved list.
6. Set the date and time for delivery.
7. Choose the recurrence if you want the message to repeat.
8. Click "Save" to schedule it.

Scheduling a Poll

In the same form, you can choose Message or Poll. Polls are sent as native Telegram polls to the group or topic and support a question, answer options, regular or quiz mode, anonymous voting, multiple answers, shuffled options, duration limits, hidden results until closing, and images in answer options. Polls cannot be sent privately to members.

Scheduling Types

• Once -- sends one time at the selected date and time.
• Daily -- repeats every day at the same time.
• Every 7 Days -- repeats every seven days at the same time.
• Every 30 Days -- repeats after 30 days at the same time; it does not mean the first day of every calendar month.
• Start of Week -- sends on Monday at the configured time.
• Start of Month -- sends on the 1st day of each month at the configured time.

Time Zone

Scheduled messages use the time zone configured in your Metricgram account. Recurring messages keep the configured local send time as calendar dates change. Review the setting before scheduling content, especially if you manage groups from another country or travel often.

You can change it from your account settings.

Managing Scheduled Messages

From the scheduled messages list, you can:

• Edit -- change the content, recipients, or schedule.
• Pause and reactivate recurring messages without recreating them.
• Delete -- remove any scheduled message you no longer want to send.

Plan Limits

The number of active scheduled messages per group depends on your plan:

Tip: If a message is one-time only and you no longer want to send it, editing the date or deleting it is usually enough.

Calendar view

Use the List and Calendar tabs at the top of the Scheduled messages page to switch views. The calendar shows every upcoming send for the month in your time zone, including each repetition of recurring messages. Blue items are upcoming, green were sent, red failed and grey are paused. Click an item to edit it. On mobile the calendar becomes a day-by-day agenda.
