SMS scheduling in detail
SMS scheduling lets organizers and promoters write a text now and have it delivered later, at a date, time and time zone they choose, for example the afternoon before doors open. When you schedule, Trybe shows the number of parts and the cost in credits (10 per part in Canada and the US, 25 elsewhere) and holds those credits until the text goes out. Until then the campaign shows as scheduled and you can edit, move or cancel it.
Delivery always respects quiet hours: texts are only sent between 9 AM and 8 PM in each person's time zone. If a send would land outside that window, the texts are held, the campaign shows Paused for quiet hours, and delivery resumes automatically at 9 AM, with no action from you. Texts sent by automations follow the same rule in each recipient's own time zone. Once sent, the campaign reports delivered, failed, opt-outs and clicks on the tracked link, with purchases and revenue for tickets sold on Trybe.
How it works

The counter shows parts and the cost in credits as you type.

Pick a date, a time and a time zone. Trybe confirms the audience count and the total in credits.
Quiet hours check
At send time, texts that would land before 9 AM or after 8 PM are held and shown as Paused for quiet hours.
Delivery and report
Held texts resume automatically; the campaign reports delivered, failed, opt-outs and clicks.
Questions organizers ask
Can I schedule a text message campaign?
Yes. Write the text, pick the audience, then choose Schedule and set a date, time and time zone. The campaign shows as scheduled until it goes out.
What happens if I schedule a text for 10 PM?
It is held. Trybe only delivers texts between 9 AM and 8 PM in each person's time zone; the campaign shows Paused for quiet hours and sends automatically at 9 AM.
Can I change or cancel a scheduled text?
Yes, until it starts sending. Open the campaign to edit the message, move it to another time or cancel it. Credits are only settled when the text goes out.
Are credits used when I schedule or when it sends?
Credits are put on hold when the campaign is created and settled when it sends. The cost is shown before you confirm: 10 credits per part in Canada and the US, 25 elsewhere. Every paid event on Trybe adds 5,000 free credits.
Whose time zone counts for quiet hours?
Each recipient's own, for campaigns and automations alike: the time zone on their contact, else the one their phone number points to.
Do automations follow the same schedule rules?
Automation texts are triggered by what a fan does, not by a date, but they respect the same quiet hours: a text due at night waits until the window opens.
