Version 7.7 and higher
When a message is generated, it will receive a date + time from which the message can be sent. From this date and time onward the message will be available for the sending mechanism of the respective message type, for example the service which sends out text messages.
The actual sending moment depends on the configuration of the sending mechanism. For example, if the mechanism is configured to send each 15 minutes, the message will be sent 15 minutes or less after the ‘from’ moment. The way the ‘from’ moment is calculated is described below.
From when on can messages be sent?
