Question
Is it possible to delay or schedule sending SMS?
Applies To
- Outbound SMS
- Scheduling Messages
Answer
It is not possible to schedule an SMS as part of the API request alone. Once the API request is sent to Vonage, it is processed immediately. Scheduling for global SMS delivery is something that needs to be built in on your side if it is a functionality you require.
