Placeholders: Placeholders allow automatic personalization in emails by inserting specific information. For example, {{FirstName}} will be replaced with the actual first name when the email is sent, enhancing template-based emails.

The Scheduled Mail from the dropdown opens the calendar interface. Here, you can select your preferred time zone from the dropdown, which displays various areas and their respective times. This ensures the email is sent at the appropriate time for both you and your recipients.

  1. Next Day Afternoon: Sends the email the next day around 2:00 PM.
