You must now associate a template with the newsletter, subsequently defining the contents that your target will receive in the mailbox. Use the “Select an Email template” panel located in the “Other” menu.

Once the newsletter has been scheduled (the SEND button has been pressed), it is no longer possible to modify the template. To do so, you must interrupt the sending process. At that point, the Edit button (for modifying the template itself) reappears, and you can then resend it.

**Notes on sending.** Once you have clicked on “Send email” the newsletter is scheduled to be sent on the date and at the time indicated in the **Schedule Date** and **Schedule Time** fields (if these values are referred to the past the newsletter will be sent immediately), with the parameters entered in “Sender Name” and “Sender Address”. Once you have clicked the button the action **cannot be cancelled from the interface**.

**Warning!** To ensure the Newsletter sending operation is successful, you must configure cronjob on the server on which vtenext is installed. For more details, refer to the chapter CRONJOB – Processes to schedule.
