New Feature: Messages sent exactly when you want.

You asked. You voted. It's here!

You already schedule volunteers in MSP—now emails and texts can be scheduled, too.

By popular request, you can now schedule announcements to send at a future date and time using "Send later" in the Plus edition of Ministry Scheduler Pro.

Top Reasons to Use "Send Later" for Announcements

Ministry planning doesn't always happen between 9 and 5.
Write texts or emails when it works for you—and let MSP handle the delivery.

Here are just a few ways this added flexibility is helping real parishes:

• Plan ahead for busy seasons
  Draft Christmas or Holy Week messages early and have them sent automatically.
• Send thank-yous at the right time
  Schedule a Thanksgiving or New Year's note to volunteers—even if the office is closed.
• Log off during your time off
  Finish announcements ahead of a day off without needing to log in later.
• Write when inspiration strikes
  Compose a message in the evening or on the weekend and schedule it for a better send time.
• Celebrate meaningful days
  Prepare a message for the church's anniversary or patron saint's feast for delivery on the actual day.
• Align timing with other parish communications
  Schedule your MSP announcement to hit inboxes with the bulletin or weekly email for top visibility.

Write Now, Send Later—Here's How

Scheduling announcements is easy:

1. Write your email or text in the Announcements pane
2. After previewing your email, choose Send later
3. Select the date and time, then click Schedule
