Considerations:

- You can restrict sending for Quick Send messages and for Campaigns.
- Restrict sending by using either the active flag or a date range.
- If business users try to choose a restricted message, they see a message that the Campaign or Quick Send message is no longer active.

To restrict sending, follow these steps:

1. From the App Launcher, find and select Distributed Marketing Administration.
2. From Restrict Sending, choose what you want to restrict and how. You can use an active flag or a date range.

Example

Your organization promotes a holiday sale. The Campaign dates are October 15 to January 1. Use this feature to restrict business users from sending the content before or after these dates.
