Schedule campaign
Schedule a draft campaign for a date, time and timezone.
MCP tool emailoctopus_write → schedule_campaign
write Confirm
Does what the Schedule button does: it sets the sending date, time and timezone and returns the scheduled time. The campaign must have a subject, a sender, a design and recipients, and the account must be allowed to send. Once scheduled it goes to your contacts at that time unless you call unschedule_campaign first. By default you confirm each call; you can switch that off for this tool.
