Buttondown Documentation
Represents the state of an email. No action is required to move from one state or another; Buttondown internally handles the transitions, and exposing the status is for observability purposes only.
Draft emails are only visible to you and are not sent out to subscribers.
This email has been queued to send out to subscribers, and will be sent automatically within a few minutes. If you're seeing that an email you just sent out is 'stuck' here, worry not — Buttondown sometimes takes a little bit longer to send out emails to ensure deliverability, but once it's marked as 'about to send' it will get sent out.
This email has been scheduled to send out to subscribers at a specific time. This specific time is available on the email as its `publish_date`.
This email is currently being sent out to subscribers, and is visible in your web archives if enabled. Some emails, especially those with large subscriber lists, may take a while to send out — Buttondown sends emails out in batches to ensure deliverability, so if you're seeing an email 'stuck' here, it's because our systems have detected that that's the optimal way to reach your subscribers.
