You built a campaign with auto follow-ups. You sent the campaign.<\/p>\n

But now, you\u2019re realizing you don\u2019t want to <\/strong>wait<\/strong><\/em>\u00a0for an auto follow-up stage to send on its scheduled day<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Maybe you have an offer that you want to promote ASAP, a deadline that got pushed up, or just a gut feeling that you don\u2019t have to wait as long to re-engage your contacts as you thought.<\/p>\n

You want to send that auto follow-up out right now.<\/p>\n

And you can.<\/p>\n

As of May 2024, you can manually send an auto follow-up stage on demand in GMass<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s how to do it.<\/p>\n

How to Send an Auto Follow-Up Stage on Demand<\/h2>\n

After you\u2019ve sent your campaign, go into the Gmail Drafts<\/strong>\u00a0folder to locate it.<\/p>\n

\"Find<\/a><\/figure>\n

Open up the draft. Then click into the GMass settings box<\/strong>\u00a0and go to the Auto Follow-Up <\/strong>section.<\/p>\n

In that section you will now see purple buttons<\/strong>\u00a0giving you the option to \u201cSend Stage n<\/em> Now\u201d. (Note: When you’re initially putting together your campaign, these buttons won’t be there. They only show up after your campaign is live and you go back into the draft.)<\/p>\n

\"The<\/a><\/figure>\n

If you\u2019re ready to bypass the delay and send that follow-up stage to everyone now, click the button.<\/p>\n

Note: The follow-up will go out to everyone who meets the initial follow-up criteria<\/strong>. For instance, if you chose to send it to people who haven\u2019t replied, it will still only go out to people who haven\u2019t replied when you send it on-demand.<\/p>\n

You\u2019ll get a dialogue box explaining all that to you. In that box, confirm you want to send the stage immediately<\/strong>\u00a0(or not).<\/p>\n

\"A<\/a><\/figure>\n

After you click Yes, I\u2019m sure<\/strong>, GMass will start sending your auto follow-up stage.<\/p>\n

Here are the results for a recipient:<\/p>\n

Can I send another stage on demand right away?<\/h3>\n

You can<\/em>\u00a0send another stage after your previous stage has completed sending almost right away. You\u2019ll have to wait until the previous stage is done sending<\/strong>, and\/or at least five minutes<\/strong>\u00a0after you sent the prior stage on-demand.<\/p>\n

Will the rest of my auto follow-up stages send normally after I send one on demand?<\/h3>\n

Yes. Even after you send a stage on-demand, the rest of your stages will continue to go out based on the established schedule<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

So\u2026<\/p>\n
