Upcoming sends

See what goes out today and on later days, why a send is waiting, and move someone to the front of the line.

Upcoming sends shows what’s lined up to go out, day by day, and why anything is waiting. Find it at Campaigns › Approvals, under Upcoming sends. Looking at this page changes nothing.

Read the day

Use the arrows to change day. The top says how many are due, and each sender shows how much of today’s allowance is used, counting invites, messages and InMails. “full today” means that sender has reached its limit.

Today's sends in time order. The bars next to each sender show how much of today's allowance is used.

Each row shows Your time, Step, Person and Campaign. Sends go out in the person’s working hours, so hover a time to see theirs. The first eight show, with the rest under Later today. Use the search to find a person, company or campaign.

Click a row to open it. It shows the step, when it goes out, who it’s from, Why it waits, and the text. If the text isn’t written yet, it says so. Text is written when the step is due.

Under the list, a summary line counts messages waiting for your approval, those being prepared, and those on hold in paused campaigns.

Why a send is waiting

Reason	What it means	What to do
Sends are spaced apart	Sends from one account are spaced apart on purpose. This one waits for the gap since the last send.	Nothing
Outside the sending hours	It is outside the sending hours for this account’s time zone, or it is the weekend. It goes out when the window opens.	Nothing, or widen the schedule
Today’s limit is used	This account has used today’s allowance for this action, like connection requests or messages. It goes out tomorrow.	Nothing, or see Senders and limits
Warming up	The account is still warming up, so today’s allowance is lower.	Nothing
LinkedIn refused more invites	LinkedIn refused more connection requests from this account for now. Invites wait until the cooldown ends, and other actions keep going.	Nothing
Sender disconnected	The sending account is disconnected.	Reconnect it and this goes out
Sender paused	Nothing leaves this account until it is resumed.	Resume the sender
Campaign paused	This step goes ahead after you resume the campaign.	Resume the campaign
Campaign not launched	Nothing is sent until it launches.	Launch it
A safety rule	This send is waiting on a safety rule before it goes out.	Nothing

Sends on hold

A sender problem shows as a banner at the top. Nothing is lost, and the sends go out once it’s fixed. Click Reconnect or Resume with the sender’s name.

Below the day, On hold groups what can’t go yet:

• On hold until their campaign is running: these go out after the campaign is resumed.
• On hold with a sender’s name: these go out when the sender is back.

In a paused campaign, nothing is written for people who are waiting. Writing starts again after you resume.

Move someone up

Send now moves a person to the front of their sender’s line. It works today only, on message steps. It doesn’t skip a rule: the working hours, daily limit, warm-up, spacing, company limit, Do not contact and the blacklist still apply, and a message that needs approval stays unapproved.

The answer tells you what to expect: “It goes out in the next minute or two”, or “It still goes out only when the sender’s rules allow”.

It can be refused:

Answer	Why
This one is sent by hand.	It belongs in Manual sends.
This campaign is paused.	People go out again after you resume it.
This person is paused.	Resume them first.
This message needs your approval.	Approve it in Approvals.
Their next step isn’t a message yet.	It’s a wait between steps.
This one isn’t due today.	Send now only moves up what is due today.
No LinkedIn account is set up to send for this person.	Add a sender.
This person has nothing queued to send.	Nothing to do.

The row’s ⋯ menu also has Skip this step and Open their page.
