# Require New Content to Send
When creating your automated campaign, a checkbox for **Require new content to send** can be found in the **Schedule** tab on the left sidebar within your selected campaign.
The **Require new content to send** option means that FeedOtter will only send your newsletter if there is new content in your RSS feed.
**You can turn this off by unchecking the box.** Turning this off will cause your automated email to send on schedule, every time, regardless of content.
{% hint style="info" %}
By default, this option is turned **on,** so FeedOtter will only send when new content is found.
{% endhint %}
### How to Determine *New* Content
New content is determined by two things:
1. The **published date** in your RSS feed.
2. The **last send date** of your FeedOtter campaign.
For your campaign's initial send, all content will be considered *new*, and FeedOtter will default to sending the maximum number of posts set in your campaign.
Once your campaign has been sent, FeedOtter will check the **published date** in your RSS feed and only send when there is content with a published date ***more recent*** than the campaign's last send date. You can find the last send date on the campaign block.
The Last Run date shows when FeedOtter last sent your RSS newsletter content.
{% hint style="warning" %}
If you uncheck the **Publish Date Filter** option in an automated campaign, the behavior described above does not apply. Previously sent content may reappear in emails, and older articles can be re-used regardless of when they were published. This setting is useful when you want to re-feature content.
