### Getting started

### Name

Enter the name of your schedule. Make it meaningful, so you can properly differentiate multiple rules.

### Description

![image](media://2d08b87a-d386-42bf-afca-2192e5da3fdc)

If you want to expand on the name, provide your description here. This is only going to be visible in this menu but will provide some amount of detail as to the schedule.

### Schedule

> 📝 This is like a calendar and allows you to select the schedule for when you need to send messages. It is typical to send appointments any time between 8 AM to 8 PM, but you may set this for any time you prefer. (As a general rule of telephone etiquette, Inphonite does not recommend after 8 PM)

**Green boxes** indicate this is a standard window for reminders to go out.

**Red boxes** indicate a warning that this is a non-standard time window and that it may be a bit early/late for you to send messages.

### Start Time Offset

If you need to have messages start at a time other than on the hour you can adjust that here.

Event Trigger indicates what conditions queue up the rule. There are a number of useful trigger cases already configured in this window that you may utilize, however, the most common situation is 1 or 2 days in advance.
