                    How to set up a schedule Change the Schedule for a Flow, Banner or Pin Remove a Schedule from a Flow, Banner or Pin

                    Do you want to schedule Flows, Banners and Pins to be delivered to your users at a specific time? This article will explain how to display a Flow, Banner or Pin only after a certain date, up to a specific time, or both.

                    Why is this helpful?

                    • Downtime announcements. Automatically display a banner at the start of your maintenance window.
                    • Less confusing limited time offers. Stop showing a flow after a special offer expires.
                    • Automate your new feature launch. Automatically display a Pin, Flow or Banner (or multiple!) at the same time that your announcement email is sent.

                    How to set up a schedule

                    Go to the settings page for the Flow, Banner or Pin that you want to schedule and click the “Schedule” button.

                    The dates and timezones shown are based on your browser's settings. You can set a start date and/or an end date. To set a start date, click “at a specific date/time”. Choose the date and time that you want this Flow, Banner or Pin to begin displaying. You can also set an end date or you can set it to When you unpublish it.

                    Change the Schedule for a Flow, Banner or Pin

                    Go to the settings page for the Flow, Banner or Pin that you want to schedule. Click “Edit Schedule”. Change the scheduled dates and times. Close the popup. Your Flow, Banner or Pin will disappear at the date and time you selected.

                    Remove a Schedule from a Flow, Banner or Pin

                    Go to the settings page for the Flow, Banner or Pin that you want to schedule. Click “Edit Schedule”. To remove automatic publishing, click “When I publish” under the “Starts” section. To remove automatic unpublishing, click “When I unpublish” under the “Ends” section. 

                    You can always override the schedule by manually clicking publish or unpublish on a Flow, Banner or Pin's settings page.
