Managing campaign schedule
The campaign schedule decides when a campaign starts running and when it expires. Defining a start and end time for your campaigns allows you to plan ahead.
The following scenarios show how scheduling a campaign affects its state:
Scenario | Campaign state |
---|---|
The scheduled start time is reached. | Scheduled ⇨ Running |
The scheduled end time is reached. | Running ⇨ Expired |
You define a future start time for a Running campaign. | Running ⇨ Scheduled |
You define a past start time for a Running campaign. | Running ⇨ Running |
important
- The schedule is effective only when you activate the campaign.
- The campaign schedule uses the Application's time zone setting.
Scheduling a campaign
For each campaign you create, you can define a start time, end time, or both. You can modify a campaign schedule at any point.
To schedule a campaign:
- On the left-side menu of your campaign,
click Settings > Schedule, and set:
- Start time: Date and time when the campaign begins Running.
- End time: Date and time when the campaign becomes Expired.
- Click Save Schedule.
tip
Define an end time for all your campaigns so that you have better control over the discounts offered.
