# How to schedule a recurring email series

> Available on **Enterprise** plans.

Recurring email series lets you automate a newsletter to send on a set cadence (daily, weekly, or monthly) without manually rescheduling each time. Once configured, your series runs automatically on the schedule you define.

This is especially useful for publishers who send consistent content on a predictable schedule, such as a weekly roundup or a daily briefing. Rather than returning to reschedule the same post after every send, you set it once and let beehiiv handle the rest.

This article covers how to configure and schedule a recurring email series from the Post Builder.

## How to set up a recurring email series

1.  Open the post you want to schedule as a recurring series, or create a new one.

-   **Time:** Set the exact hour and minute. 
-   **Timezone:** Confirm the time zone for the send schedule.
-   **Email notification settings:** Specify how far in advance (by days, hours, or minutes) beehiiv should create a draft of the post in your account, giving you time to add ads or make any one-off changes before it goes out.
