# How to schedule a repeating mass text/email message

These instructions will guide you to set up a recurring mass email or text. If you'd like to send out a mass email/text just one time, click [**here**](http://salon-software.com/kb/how-to-send-a-marketing-email-or-text/) instead.

If you have never sent an email from Insight, follow the steps [**here**](http://salon-software.com/kb/how-to-set-up-email-in-insight/) to set up emailing.

## Create your message

First, we need to make a template for what will send out to clients. Go to **Setup** → **Templates**. Choose Email Templates if you're sending an email, or SMS Templates if you are sending a text (add-on feature). Create your message here. If you need help doing so, view instructions [**here**](http://salon-software.com/kb/how-to-create-an-email-or-sms-text-template/).

**Note:** If you want to avoid using multiple text message credits per message, be sure the message content is within 160 characters (including spaces).

## Set client marketing preferences

Next, we need enable marketing emails and/or texts for all clients.

1. Go to **Clients** → **Actions** → **Set All Marketing Preferences.**
2. Check off email and/or sms here and click ok.
3. Insight will now go through and set preferences for all clients. This can take a while if you have a large number of clients.

## Create the mass email/text event

Go to **Setup** → **Events Setup** → **Marketing Events **and follow these steps:
