# Intervals

Intervals allow you to skip the designated number of days, weeks, or months between sends. For example, if your sending a weekly newsletter but only want the campaign to run every two weeks, you would use intervals to skip sending your newsletter every other week.

{% hint style="warning" %}
This feature is **not** compatible with first-last scheduling at this time. All other sending frequencies are able to use Intervals.
{% endhint %}

## How it Works

1. **Edit an existing campaign** or create a new one. Navigate to the **Schedule** tab.
2. Select **Show Advanced Options** at the very bottom of the Schedule tab, under the Next button. You'll see a box for **Intervals** appear.

3. Type the number of sending intervals you'd like skipped in your sending frequency in the box provided.

{% hint style="info" %}
When set to **0**, intervals are not being used.
{% endhint %}

## Example Use Cases

Here are a few example use cases that demonstrate how to set the interval frequency.

### **Example One:**&#x20;

#### *I want to send a biweekly email newsletter, sending to subscribers every other Tuesday.*

In this case, we'll set up the Schedule tab to show **Every Week, Tuesday**. Then we'll add the **Interval = 1**.&#x20;

This tells FeedOtter to skip one week before sending another newsletter.

### Example Two:

#### *Our newsletter is a summary of content sent every 6 months.*

Here, we want FeedOtter to skip the monthly sending frequency for 5 months at a time in order to send every 6th month.

We'll set the sending schedule to **Every Month**, at your specified day and time. Then, set the **Interval = 5**.
