URGENT: Final Days Guidelines (2nd-5th)
We expect significant network congestion across carriers in the final days before Election Day. Follow these urgent guidelines to minimize issues and ensure the highest delivery rates.
- Start Early: Start/book jobs by 9 AM or as early as possible. Network congestion will peak in the afternoon/evening, so starting early maximizes delivery rates and helps avoid delays.
- Extended Sending Windows: Canvassing must be booked in 4-hour windows and messages will be delivered within these windows.
- Avoid Starting Jobs After 4:30 PM ET: Carrier congestion is guaranteed to peak in the evening.
- Time Zone Prioritization: Eastern Time messages are first to send, followed by Central, Mountain, and Pacific, to ease network pressure and boost delivery rates.
- ASAP vs. Scheduled Time Booking:
- ASAP: Your message will be prioritized and sent as quickly as possible in the order it’s received.
- Scheduled Time: Your message will begin and complete within a 4-hour window from your selected start time.
- Wire Payments by October 31st: Ensure wire payments are made by October 31st to cover expenses through Election Day on the 5th.
- Support: Extended Support Hours: Our team is standing by 9am-12am ET to assist you.
The Peerly team has been preparing for these crucial 5 days over the past 24 months. We’re here to support you every step of the way to ensure you cross the finish line successfully.
While some variables are beyond our control, following these guidelines will help minimize issues and maximize your delivery rates.
