Schedule Emails From Airtable In The Smart Way!
The first email is not your best email, but the one that arrives at the exact moment of an event.
Whether your audience is in NewYork, London, Sydney, or anywhere else, timing creates a huge impact on its analytics.
Basemailer helps in creating your email campaign whenever it's convenient for you and schedules delivery for that exact timezone which works best for the recipients.
Build your campaign inside Airtable, choose when it needs to be delivered, and Basemailer takes care of the rest.
What Is Email Scheduling?
Email scheduling allows you to create a campaign now and send it automatically later.
Instead of sending immediately, simply choose a timezone when the event is likely to occur. BaseMailer queues your campaign and delivers it exactly when scheduled, even if Airtable is closed and your laptop is shut down.
Unlike basic "send later" tools, BaseMailer includes:
- Precise date and time scheduling
- Full global timezone support
- Per-recipient timezone delivery
- Scheduled sends inside automated sequences
- Edit, reschedule, or cancel at any time before sending
How Does Email Scheduling Work?
- 1
Create Your Campaign
Design your email, personalize it with Airtable fields, and select the records you want to contact.
- 2
Choose Schedule
When you're ready to send, select Schedule instead of Send Now.
- 3
Select Your Timezone
Choose exactly when your campaign should be delivered.
You can send using:
- Your Account Timezone: Perfect when all recipients are in the same region.
- A Specific Timezone: Schedule delivery for any timezone worldwide, regardless of where you're located.
- Each Recipient's Timezone: BaseMailer reads the timezone stored on each Airtable record and delivers emails at the chosen local time for every recipient.
- 4
Confirm & Relax
Review the campaign summary and confirm the schedule.
Once scheduled, BaseMailer handles everything automatically. No need to keep Airtable open or being alert.
- 5
Make Changes Anytime
Need to adjust the timing or update the content?
Scheduled campaigns can be edited, rescheduled, or cancelled at any point before delivery.
Send at the Right Time in Every Timezone!
Most scheduling tools only support a single send timezone. That's fine for local audiences, but global contact lists require something smarter:
Schedule in Any Timezone
Target recipients in a specific region!
Simply select their timezone and schedule the campaign accordingly.
For example, schedule a campaign for 9:00 AM Eastern Time, and BaseMailer delivers it at 9:00 AM ET, regardless of where you are when you create it.
Per-Recipient Timezone Delivery
For international audiences, BaseMailer can deliver emails according to each recipient's local timezone.
Schedule a campaign for 10:00 AM, and every contact receives it at 10:00 AM, whether they're in Toronto, Tokyo, Singapore, or Berlin.
This results in better timing, improved engagement, and a more professional recipient experience.
Schedule Emails Inside Automated Sequences!
Scheduling isn't limited to one-off campaigns.
BaseMailer's automation builder allows you to define both the delay between emails and the exact delivery time for every step in a sequence.
Example:
- Day 1: Welcome email - immediately after signup
- Day 3: Getting Started Guide - 9:00 AM local time
- Day 7: Product Spotlight - Tuesday at 10:00 AM
- Day 14: Follow-up Email - 9:00 AM local time
This ensures every email arrives when recipients are most likely to engage, rather than whenever an automation timer happens to trigger.
