# Introduction

> The professional engine for bulk messaging and API integration.

Gliiv is a high-performance messaging platform built for scale. This documentation focuses on the two primary ways to reach your audience: launching powerful manual campaigns via our dashboard and integrating automated messaging via our REST API.

## Flexible Delivery Options

Gliiv adapts to your timing requirements based on how you interact with the platform:

### Instant Messaging (API & Dashboard)

For time-sensitive alerts, OTPs, or immediate notifications, our infrastructure is optimized for low-latency delivery. Messages sent via API or the "Send Now" dashboard option enter the processing queue immediately.

### Scheduled Campaigns (Dashboard Only)

Plan your outreach in advance through our dashboard interface. You can schedule campaigns to go live at a specific time (minimum 3-hour lead time), allowing our systems to stage and validate your data for perfect execution.

  **Note:** The API is currently dedicated to instant message delivery. All scheduled messaging must be managed through the Manual Campaign dashboard.
