Automation Schedules

Written by Geetanjali Tyagi

What is It?

On the Automation Schedules page, you'll find a list of all the configured automation schedules (active and disabled) and easily view or edit the details of single or multiple schedules. You can filter and search for specific schedules, and use the column picker to determine what information you want to view for a schedule.

Some features available on this page are:

Filters

You can choose to filter out by Account, Automation Type, which user in your team sets the automation schedule, automation status, frequency, or platform for which the automation is set (Google Ads, Microsoft Ads, etc).

Status

For some tools, you’ll be able to view total runs, last run, and other related details of the automation under this column.

Timezone

You will be able to see the timezone used by the schedule on the edit panel. It will change based on the user’s timezone who is editing the schedule.

Why Use It?

With the Automation Schedules Page, you can:

  1. Get a centralized view of all your automation schedules, making it easier to track what is active, paused, or needs attention.

  2. Monitor automation performance with key details like total runs and last run, so you never miss issues or inactive schedules.

  3. Keep your automation setup clean and organized by removing outdated or unnecessary schedules.

Edit Schedules

You can edit the schedule by clicking on the edit icon under the ‘Actions’ column. This will open a side tray with all the information about the schedule. Here, you can edit various settings and even change default bids for your shopping automation.

You can bulk edit multiple schedules by using the checkboxes. As soon as you make your selection, you’ll be given the option to bulk edit frequency, email (for notification purposes), owner, automation status, as well as delete a schedule.

Important Note: If multiple team members try to edit a schedule simultaneously, the first person to edit one will be allowed to make changes, and for every other person, the system will show a warning message requesting to refresh the browser first.

Delete Schedules

You can delete a schedule by clicking on the delete button present under the ‘Actions’ column.

Change Status

You can pause an active schedule or enable a paused one by toggling the option under the ‘Status’ column.

Use Cases

1. Quickly Identifying Underperforming or Inactive Automations

Problem: You may not always know if an automation hasn’t run recently or is failing to deliver results, which can impact campaign performance.

Solution: The Status column provides insights like total runs and last run, helping you instantly identify schedules that are inactive or underperforming.

2. Making Bulk Updates to Save Time

Problem: Updating multiple automation schedules individually can be time-consuming, especially when managing large accounts or frequent strategy changes.

Solution: You can select multiple schedules using checkboxes and bulk edit key settings like frequency, email notifications, owner, or status.

3. Managing Multiple Automation Schedules Across Accounts

Problem: When you manage multiple accounts and automation types, it becomes difficult to track which schedules are active, paused, or outdated. This often leads to missed optimizations or redundant automation runs.

Solution: With Automation Schedules, you can use filters like Account, Automation Type, and Status to narrow down relevant schedules quickly. The column picker lets you customize your view so you see only the most important details.
