## Example: Send immediately

```go theme={null}
package main

import (
    "fmt"
    "github.com/resend/resend-go/v2"
)

func main() {
    client := resend.NewClient("re_123456789")

    params := &resend.SendBroadcastRequest{
        BroadcastId: "brd_123456",
    }

    response, err := client.Broadcasts.Send(params)
    if err != nil {
        panic(err)
    }

    fmt.Println("Broadcast sent:", response.Id)
}
```

## Example: Schedule for later

```go theme={null}
package main

import (
    "fmt"
    "github.com/resend/resend-go/v2"
)

func main() {
    client := resend.NewClient("re_123456789")

    params := &resend.SendBroadcastRequest{
        BroadcastId: "brd_123456",
        ScheduledAt: "2024-12-01T19:32:22.980Z",
    }

    response, err := client.Broadcasts.Send(params)
    if err != nil {
        panic(err)
    }

    fmt.Println("Broadcast scheduled:", response.Id)
}
```

## Example: Schedule with natural language

```go theme={null}
params := &resend.SendBroadcastRequest{
    BroadcastId: "brd_123456",
    ScheduledAt: "in 1 hour",
}

response, err := client.Broadcasts.Send(params)
```

<Info>
  When scheduling a broadcast, you can use natural language like "in 1 min", "in 2 hours", or "tomorrow at 9am", or provide an ISO 8601 formatted timestamp.
</Info>

<Warning>
  Make sure the broadcast is in draft status before sending. You cannot send a broadcast that has already been sent.
