# Managing Email Blasts

From the **Email Blast** section, you may manage email blasts. This includes scheduling reminder email blasts, sending email blasts immediately, as well as cancelling any previously scheduled, and reviewing election logs as necessary.

For more information about configuring your email blast, please see [**Scheduling an Initial Email Blast**](/v1/docs/en/scheduling-initial-blast).

## Scheduling Email Blasts

To **send an email blast at a scheduled time** other than the election's start, click on the **Preview & Schedule** button after configuring a new email blast.

After reviewing the preview, in the **Schedule** section select the **Send Later** option and configure a **Send Date** and **Send Time** for your future **email blast** and click the **Submit** button to confirm scheduling.

The **Email Blast History** section will be updated with your new email blast and a blue **Waiting Email Blasts** notice will appear at the top of the page.

## Sending Email Blasts

To send an email blast immediately, the election must be in **Active** status. If the election is in **Waiting** status, you can schedule an email blast to be sent at the election's start or at some other predefined time.

To send immediately, click on the **Preview & Schedule** button. After reviewing the preview, in the **Schedule** section select the **Send Immediately** option and click the **Submit** button to confirm sending.

After sending your message, the **Email Blast History** section will be updated with your new email blast.

For larger email blasts, final delivery to elector inboxes may still take several minutes after an email blast is marked as **Finished**.

To review any email blast content, simply click the **Preview Body** button in the **Action** column to reveal the formatted body of any message in the **Email Blast History**.

To **cancel** a previously scheduled email blast, simply click **Cancel** button in the **Action** column for the scheduled message.

Make the desired changes, then click the green **Preview & Schedule** button. Update the send date if necessary, then click the green **Submit** button to apply the changes.

Once edited, the **Email Blast History** will be updated with your changes.

## Election Logs Related to Managing Email Blasts

As with all user activity, email blasts scheduled, sent immediately, or cancelled are tracked in the **Election Log**.

Moreover, once any email blast is sent, the **Election Log** will contain logs regarding the specific email addresses that received the email blast. Information regarding email bounces is also logged as the information becomes available.
