Publish a future campaign

3 min

Publishing a campaign in the Roster platform that begins at a future date is a strategic way to organize and manage ambassador engagements. Setting a future start date allows brands to plan and schedule campaigns ahead of time, ensuring that all elements are in place before ambassadors are notified and the campaign becomes active. It's vital to remember that once a campaign is published, it's considered active, even if it's planned for future execution. In this article, we'll explore how to publish a future-dated campaign and what to keep in mind during this process.

Step-by-step instructions

Set the publish and start dates for your campaign

Navigate to the Campaigns section in the Roster dashboard.

Select the campaign you wish to set for a future start date.

Set the Publish date to the desired date (e.g., the 24th).

Set the Start date for when the campaign will commence (e.g., the 28th).

Publish the campaign

Go to step 5 in the campaign setup process.

Click on Publish Campaign.

The campaign will now display as planned. This status indicates that it is active but scheduled to begin on the start date you set.

Important considerations for planned campaigns

A planned campaign is counted as an active campaign. Ensure this fits within your subscription's limits for active campaigns.

Once published, campaigns cannot be unpublished. However, you can edit certain aspects of the campaign.

If you need to retract a published campaign, end the campaign and consider duplicating it for future use.

Ambassador notification

On the publish date, ambassadors receive an email notification regarding the upcoming campaign.

Depending on the start date, ambassadors may either join immediately or wait until the campaign officially starts.
