How can we help you?
The Scheduled Actions feature enables you to pause or resume campaigns, groups, or creatives at a specified date and time in the future. This is useful for making changes in advance for delivery to publishers, allowing you to prepare for upcoming promotional or seasonal changes instead of having to push them during off-hours. For example, Scheduled Actions could be used to launch new campaigns on a schedule, or activate promotional creatives to coincide with a sale period.
You can have multiple scheduled actions applied on an ad. If you want to view the list of scheduled actions pending for a specific ad, click the Creatives tab, find the ad and click on the name to go to the ad's settings. Then scroll down to the Scheduled Actions section.
And if you want to see the next scheduled action set for each campaign, group, or creative, you can also bring in the Sched. Action column to the Grid (View Builder > Advanced).
The date and time for a pending action can be changed on the Campaign/Group/Creatives settings page. You must click the Save button on the page for any changes to be saved.
Scheduling an action from the Grid will add a new scheduled action for the selected objects, even if the objects already have a scheduled action created.
To cancel a Scheduled Action, follow these simple steps:
If an action is scheduled on an item that is Held in the Activity Log, the change will be made at the Publisher (overriding the Held status). You can find Held activities by filtering the status column. It is best to either cancel or post these jobs before scheduling any actions.
To exclude individual held items when creating a Scheduled Action, you can add a filter to the Operation Status column:
In order to be sure that the changes resulting from your scheduled action went through on time, we recommend setting up an alert for confirmation confirm. You can set up an alert quickly and easily by following the instructions in How to Set Up Alerts.
