SendGrid's [SMTPAPI]({{ root_url }}/API_Reference/SMTP_API/) allows developers to specify custom scheduling parameters. Using the parameters defind below, SendGrid will allow a customer to queue batches of emails targeting individual recipients by using a UNIX time stamp parameter. This parameter allows SendGrid to begin processing a customer’s email requests before sending. SendGrid will then queue those messages and release them when the time stamp is exceeded. This technique allows for a more efficient way to distribute large email requests and can **improve overall mail delivery time** performance.
