# Broadcast tracks

> Send scheduled messages and activities to an audience, once or on repeat.

A broadcast track runs once for an audience on a shared schedule. Each step can go to a different channel, group or set of people.

For example, post a policy update in a channel on Monday, send a quiz to the department on Wednesday, then collect feedback on Friday. Repeat the track when the next update is ready, or set a recurring schedule.

## Choose recipients for each step

| Destination | Delivery |
| - | - |
| **Post in a channel** | One post in the chosen Slack channel |
| **DM channel members** | A direct message to each channel member |
| **Groups** | Delivery to members of the groups you choose |
| **Specific people** | Delivery to the people you choose |

Broadcasts support **Message**, **Quiz**, **Survey**, **Poll** and **Webhook** steps. Steps that need an enrolled person, such as Tasks or Mentor Assignment, use a [per-person track](/tracks/per-person-tracks.md).

## Send a manual broadcast

Choose **Manual** as the trigger, then:

1. Open the track and select **Send**.
2. Choose **Now** or **Later**. For a later send, set the date, time and time zone.
3. Review when each step will send. Adjust any times marked **Passed** or **Before start**.
4. Select **Send track** or **Schedule send**.

You don't need to activate a manual broadcast separately. After sending, use **Send again** to create another run. A scheduled send shows **Reschedule** instead.

## Run on a schedule

Choose **Scheduled** as the trigger. Set the frequency, start time and track time zone, then select **Activate track**.

Each occurrence creates a new run. All steps use the track's time zone and working days. See [Timing](/tracks/steps/timing.md).

## Stop future sends

Open the track's menu and choose:

* **Cancel scheduled send** to cancel a pending manual send.
* **Turn off schedule** to stop new recurring runs. Runs already in progress finish.
* **Archive** to cancel active runs as well.

## Follow each run

Open **Runs** to check step delivery and errors. A delivered step means the activity was sent; use its quiz or survey results to see how people responded.

[Cohort tracks](/tracks/triggers/cohort.md) can also broadcast when a cohort starts. Those runs use the cohort's time zone.
