Why campaign teams ask this
Supporters need to hear it before the news does. It usually surfaces the first time a real list goes out, when member updates, event invites and turnout reminders stop being a plan and become a send.
What it changes for you
Get this right and the outcome is supporters mobilised at the right hour. Get it wrong and the cost shows up quietly, in messages nobody read and money already spent.
Doing it in the platform
The compose screen shows the segment count, the cost and the sender name before anything leaves, so the decision is made before the money moves.
