Managing campaign schedule
The campaign schedule defines when a campaign starts running and when it expires. Creating a schedule for your campaigns allows you to plan ahead.
For each campaign you create, you can define a start time, end time, or both. You can modify a campaign schedule at any point.
Important
- The schedule is effective only when you activate the campaign.
- The campaign schedule uses the Application's time zone setting.
tip
Define an end time for all your campaigns so that you have better control over the discounts offered.
To create a schedule for a campaign:
- On the left-side menu of your campaign, click Settings > Schedule, and set:
- Start time: Date and time when the campaign starts running.
- End time: Date and time when the campaign expires.
- Click Save Schedule.
note
- When the start time is in the future, the state of an active campaign changes from running to scheduled.
- When the start time is reached, the state of a scheduled campaign automatically changes to running. When the end time is reached, the campaign state automatically changes from running to expired.
- If you set a start time that is in the past for a campaign this is already running, the campaign remains in the running state.
- If you set only the end time for a campaign that is already running, the campaign remains in the running state until the end time is reached. The state then changes to expired.
