Click the dropdown.
Choose your preferred notification delay.

You can use custom variables to automatically populate the recipient’s name, location name, delivery area name, and carrier name (like UPS or FedEx).

In your settings, variables appear blue but will appear as normal text in your delivery and reminder notifications.
