5. When should it go out? Choose On a specific day or Decide later.

The switch that lets it send

A broadcast sends only while Campaigns and broadcasts is on under Account → Guest communications. New accounts start with it off. If it is off, Send and Schedule stop with "Could not send" and say so, and nothing goes out. Turn it on, then press Send again.

To email only the people you imported, or only contacts with a tag, see Sending a one-time broadcast.
