# Campaign Scheduler

The Campaign Scheduler on Feature Experimentation & Rollout allows you to **automatically play or pause a campaign at a specific date and time**.

This feature helps you schedule activations or deactivations in advance, especially when working across different time zones or outside business hours. It ensures campaigns launch exactly when planned. 

This feature is available for all campaign types.

### Campaign Scheduler activation  

You can schedule campaigns to launch and/or pause at future dates from two areas:

#### 1. From the Campaign dashboard

2. Select **Schedule** **campaign** from the dropdown menu.

#### 2. From the Campaign creation flow

During campaign setups:

You can define a **start date**, a **stop date**, or both.

1. Enable the **Start date** and/or **Stop date** toggle.
2. Select the desired date and time.
3. Choose the appropriate **timezone**.
4. Click **Save**.

{% hint style="info" %}
If you only need to schedule a launch or pause (not both), enable only the relevant toggle.
{% endhint %}

Once configured, scheduled campaigns are identified in the dashboard with a **schedule icon** next to their status.&#x20;

### Manual override

You can manually launch or pause a scheduled campaign anytime using the **Campaign Status Button.** This automatically removes the existing schedule.

### Notifications&#x20;

If you want to be notified when a scheduled campaign starts or stops, you can configure:

* **Zapier integrations**
* **Webhooks**

These allow you to trigger automated workflows or internal notifications based on campaign status changes.

#### Example Use case

You are working in California and want to launch a campaign for Paris visitors on **December 24th at 10:00 PM (Paris time)**.&#x20;

To schedule it:

1. From the dashboard, click the **Schedule** icon on your campaign.
2. Enable the **Start date** toggle.
3. Select **December 24th**.
4. Set the time to **10:00 PM**.
5. Choose the **Europe/Paris** timezone.
6. Click **Save**.

Your campaign will automatically activate at the selected time. No stop date is required unless you want to schedule one.
