# How to Launch a Broadcast Immediately?

When you need to send a broadcast right away, without waiting for the scheduled time, immediate launch allows starting sending in a few seconds. This instruction will help launch a broadcast manually.

## When Needed

- The broadcast is already created, but you need to send it earlier than scheduled.
- You need to quickly test the broadcast on a small group of clients.
- You need to launch an emergency broadcast without waiting for the schedule.

## What's Important to Know

- **Immediate launch** — manual launch of a broadcast that starts sending immediately after clicking the button.
- The broadcast must be active for immediate launch capability.
- After launch, the broadcast begins sending according to system settings.

## Step-by-Step Instructions

1. In the `Broadcast` module, go to the **"Broadcasts"** section — a table with all broadcasts opens.
2. Find the needed broadcast in the list — make sure it is active (green indicator in the "Broadcast Active" column).
3. Click the **"Launch"** icon (blue triangle) in the row of this broadcast — the system initiates immediate broadcast launch.

## What Happens After

The broadcast begins sending immediately after launch. You can track progress in the results modal window.

## How to Verify It Worked

- Check that the broadcast started sending — status should change to "in progress".
