# Scheduling Your Send

### Scheduling Options

FeedOtter enables you to fully customize the schedule for sending your emails.

Below is a summary of the available scheduling options and common customer use cases:

* **When New Content is Found** - FeedOtter polls your RSS feed hourly and sends an email when new content is found.
* **Every Hour** - Sends one time per hour at the exact "past the hour" time on the days you specify.
* **Every Day** - Sends an email once per day at the time you specify.
* **Every Week** - Sends on the specified day of the week and time that you define.
* **Every Month** - Sends every month on an exact day number (1-31) and time you define.
* **First / Last of the Month** - Sends every month on the specified First or Last day of the week at the time defined. Example: Send on the last Tuesday of each month, first Monday etc.
* **Intervals** - This allows you to schedule sends such as "every other" or "every 6."

### New Content

The default behavior for ALL FeedOtter automations is to only send when there is at least **one** new article in the RSS feed.

New content is detected by comparing an article's \<pubDate> value with the last send date of your automated campaign. When a new article is detected, FeedOtter will build an email and orchestrate sending with your ESP.

**With this guide, you can modify these settings in the Schedule tab of your campaign:**

{% content-ref url="/pages/kLB9bf9MOcTRBBpqkAjh" %}
[Require New Content to Send](/automated-newsletters/scheduling-your-send/require-new-content-to-send.md)
{% endcontent-ref %}
