# Broadcasts | Waitlyze Docs

> Send a one-time email to opted-in verified subscribers.

Canonical: https://waitlyze.com/docs/broadcasts


Broadcasts are one-time sends from `/waitlists/[id]/emails/broadcasts`. They target the current eligible audience snapshot, not a static list.

## Who receives it [#who-receives-it]

Eligible recipients are **verified subscribers with explicit marketing opt-in**, minus:

- Unsubscribed addresses.
- Workspace-suppressed addresses (bounces/complaints).
- Unverified or never-opted-in signups.

The preview count reflects these rules at preview time. Membership can change before you confirm - always re-read the count on the confirm screen.

## Send safely [#send-safely]

<Steps>
<Step>
### Create and save a draft [#create-and-save-a-draft]
Write subject and message, then **Save**. Editing content after preview invalidates that preview - preview again.
</Step>
<Step>
### Preview eligible recipients [#preview-eligible-recipients]
Check the count and understand who is excluded. If the count looks wrong, verify opt-in and suppression in [Subscribers](/docs/subscribers).
</Step>
<Step>
### Review and confirm [#review-and-confirm]
Confirm the send with the current count in view. Cancelling stops remaining queued messages, but messages already handed to the provider may still arrive.
</Step>
</Steps>

<Callout type="warn" title="Confirm with fresh eyes">
Recipient state can shift between preview and confirm. The confirm screen count wins over an older preview.
</Callout>

## After sending [#after-sending]

- Track queued, sending, delivered, and failed states in the broadcasts list.
- Cancel a running broadcast to stop what has not yet left the queue.
- Bounces and complaints feed workspace suppression via signed provider events, protecting future sends. See [Resend](/docs/resend).

Delivery still requires a configured sender and running dispatcher. See [Email tools](/docs/email).
