Hi I have a zap that sends out a instant SMS to Facebook lead via clicksend, my question is how do schedule follow up messages to these leads? ie day 1 day 2 etc I understand I can create a zap for each days meassage but I don't understand this Unix stuff? Allows a message to be scheduled. Time must be in Unix format e.g. 1462788759 How do do this? What do I put in that feild. Please help as I can't follow up with leads at the moment. Many thanks Alvin:)

Hi @alindsay 

Good question.

Can you post screenshots with the Zap action step and field that you are trying to configure to give us more context?

HI Troy, thanks for your reply give me 2 minutes going to send a screen shot

Troy what would it look like to send sms one day later? ie Formatter > Date/Time > Format 1
