The Power of Automated Campaign Scheduling
Alia's campaign scheduling feature empowers you to precisely control when your popups are active and visible to your audience. This feature lets you pick the exact day and time your popup goes live — and when it turns off. Once scheduled, your campaign will automatically start and stop at the times you’ve set, no manual work required, ensuring your messages are always timely and relevant.
Common Use Cases for Scheduled Campaigns
Campaign scheduling is invaluable for a variety of marketing strategies. Here are some popular scenarios where this feature shines:
Sales Promotions: Perfectly time your offers, such as a "Black Friday Sale" that starts precisely at midnight on a specific date.
Holiday Campaigns: Ensure your Mother’s Day or Valentine's Day deals are live only for the relevant promotional period.
Limited-Time Offers: Execute flash sales or one-day discounts with exact start and end times to create urgency.
Step-by-Step: Setting Up Your Campaign Schedule
Scheduling your Alia campaign to launch and conclude automatically is a straightforward process. Follow these steps to ensure your promotions go live and end exactly as planned.
Step 1: Navigate to Your Campaign and Access the Scheduler
First, you'll need to locate the campaign you wish to schedule within your Alia dashboard.
Log into Alia: Access your Alia dashboard
Go to Campaigns: From the main navigation menu on the left side of your dashboard, click on the Campaigns section.
Select Your Campaign: Browse your list of campaigns and click on the specific campaign you want to schedule. This action will take you to its detailed overview page.
Open the Scheduler: On the campaign detail page, locate and click the Schedule button or calendar icon. This will open the scheduling options for your campaign.
Step 2: Set Your Desired Start and End Date & Time
Now that the scheduling options are open, you can define precisely when your popup should be active.
Set the Start Date & Time: In the calendar view, click on the exact date you want your popup campaign to go live. Then, use the provided time selector to choose the specific hour and minute for its launch.
Set the End Date & Time (Optional): By default, if no end time is set, your campaign will run indefinitely after its scheduled start. To automatically turn your campaign off, select an end date and time in the calendar. This ensures your promotions don't overstay their welcome and maintain their exclusivity.
Confirm Your Schedule: After carefully selecting both your start and (optionally) end times, click the Schedule button to save your changes. Your campaign is now scheduled!
💡 Alia's scheduling operates based on your account's timezone settings. Please ensure your timezone is correctly configured in your account settings to prevent any discrepancies with your campaign timings.
Scheduling your popups for a specific date and time ensures your campaigns go live exactly when you want and turn off automatically when they’re no longer relevant. This helps you run timely, targeted promotions without needing to manually monitor or update them, allowing you to focus on other critical aspects of your business.
