Using the marketing calendar

Overview

The marketing calendar gives you a visual overview of everything you have scheduled — announcements and offers — laid out by day and time. Use it to plan your campaigns in advance, avoid gaps, and make sure you are not sending too many things at once.

To get here, go to Marketing, then Calendar in your dashboard.

What you can see

At the top of the calendar you will see a summary row for the current month showing counts for:

• Drafts — campaigns created but not yet scheduled

• Scheduled — campaigns set to go out at a future date

• Completed — campaigns that have already sent or expired

• Push announcements — total push notifications in the period

• Email announcements — total emails in the period

Below that the calendar shows the full month view with each scheduled campaign appearing on its respective date. Click any campaign to view or edit it.

Switching views and dates

Use the arrows at the top to move between months. Click Today to jump back to the current date. Use the Month dropdown to switch between month and other available views.

Creating from the calendar

You can create a new announcement or offer directly from the calendar without going back to the Marketing page. Click any date on the calendar to open the create flow with that date pre-selected as the send or start date.

This makes it easy to plan campaigns around specific dates — a holiday, a product launch, or a quiet Tuesday you want to drive traffic on.

Best practices

• Plan at least two weeks ahead so you always have something scheduled

• Space out announcements so customers are not hearing from you too frequently — once or twice a week is a good rhythm for most businesses

• Use offers to fill gaps in your calendar during slower periods

• Coordinate announcements with offers — schedule an announcement to go out the same day an offer starts so customers know about it immediately

FAQs

Can I drag and drop campaigns to reschedule them on the calendar? Not currently. To reschedule a campaign click on it and edit the send or start date.

Can I see both announcements and offers on the calendar at the same time? Yes. Both appear on the calendar together so you can see your full marketing picture in one view.

Can I create recurring campaigns from the calendar? Not currently. Each announcement and offer needs to be created individually.

Is the calendar per location? Yes. The calendar reflects the campaigns for whichever location you are currently viewing in the dashboard.
