Firstly, follow steps as usual to create your press release. Effective use of Vuelio's distribution management module allows you to schedule or send distributions with ease. Managing scheduled press releases effectively is key for ensuring your communications are timely and accurate. Below, we outline a step-by-step guide to assist you in completing this process.
To set your scheduled date & time
The option to set a scheduled date and time is within the Content Tab >
Remember if you change the Scheduled date, make sure you amend the Display date to match.
Save your release on the top right and click through to the 'Distribution Channels' tab. Once you're ready, click 'send email' - this will then schedule your email to send at the specified date and time.
Additionally, after scheduling your press release, ensure that it has been properly queued for distribution by verifying its status on the Distributions landing page. This confirms your press release is set for the specified date and time.
Your release is now scheduled.
Once confirmed you'll get this notification >

Rescheduling a Press Release
