Sending a Campaign
Pushing a campaign out to your tribes
One message, sent from every tribe's own number at their own local time.
Last updated September 2, 2026
Set Send From to Tribe Accounts and Gorilla Dash creates a separate child campaign for each tribe you select. Each one sends from that tribe's own SMS account, to that tribe's own people, at that tribe's local time.
Choosing the tribes
Pick All Tribes, By Tribe Type, or Select Tribes. Only tribes that are open or opening soon are included — a closed or pending tribe is skipped silently.
Local time, not your time
Who pays
This is the only place the Who pays choice appears — Organisation pays puts the whole cost on head office, Tribe pays bills each tribe for its own. Tribes cannot change it afterwards.
Editing the parent rebuilds the children
Locking images does not work yet
There is a Lock images for tribe child campaigns switch, but it is not enforced — tribes can still change the images regardless. Do not rely on it for brand control.
Watching it go out
The parent campaign shows a Tribe Results table — one row per tribe with its status, timezone, scheduled and sent times, and its own recipient, delivered and failed counts. A tribe stuck without a status usually has no SMS account connected.
Cancelling a push
If some tribes have already sent, deleting the parent asks you to confirm: the unsent tribe campaigns are cancelled and removed, the sent ones are kept, and the parent is marked as sent. Nothing already delivered can be recalled.
