Our system has been built to support large campaigns at scale, so submissions are queued to ensure stability and reliability during periods of high traffic. When CampaignNow form submissions occur they are added to a queue to be processed as a background job. This enables the form submission process to run quickly, and for those emails and NationBuilder data processes to run asynchronously.
The result is that over 95% of all emails are sent within 10 minutes and over 99% within 1 hour of submission, but during periods of elevated sending it is possible to see some delays in the delivery of your campaign messages.
