🔍 What This Error Means
When you see the message 'Please configure outreach schedule first!', it means your outreach campaign is missing a required sending schedule. Search Atlas will not allow a campaign to launch until a valid schedule is set. This is a quick fix — follow the steps below to resolve it.
🛠️ How to Configure Your Outreach Schedule
- In the left sidebar, open your outreach campaigns list.
- Locate the campaign showing the error and click on it to open the campaign settings.
- Navigate to the Schedule section within the campaign editor.
- Set your preferred sending days, time window, and time zone. All three fields are required before you can proceed.
- Click Save to confirm your schedule settings.
- Return to the campaign overview and attempt to launch your campaign again.
✅ Tips for a Valid Schedule
- Select at least one sending day — campaigns with no active days cannot be scheduled.
- Set a valid time window — your start time must come before your end time.
- Choose a time zone — leaving the time zone blank will trigger the same error even if other fields are filled in.
- Save before launching — always save your schedule changes before clicking the launch button.
🚀 Launching Your Campaign After Setup
Once your schedule is saved, the error should no longer appear. Go back to your campaign in your campaigns list, confirm the schedule is displayed correctly in the campaign summary, then click Launch. Your campaign will begin sending according to the schedule you configured.
💡 Still Seeing the Error?
If you have completed all the steps above and the error persists, it is possible that the schedule did not save correctly due to a browser or session issue. Try the following:
- Refresh the page and re-enter your schedule settings before saving again.
- Clear your browser cache or switch to a different browser.
- Check that no required fields are highlighted in red, which indicates an incomplete entry.
