How to Activate a Scheduled Broadcast?

When a broadcast is created as a draft or was deactivated, activation allows enabling it for automatic launch on schedule. This instruction will help activate a scheduled broadcast.

When Needed

  • The broadcast is created as a draft, but now you need to activate it.
  • The broadcast was temporarily deactivated, but is now ready to launch.
  • You need to enable a scheduled broadcast before its launch.

What's Important to Know

  • Active broadcast — broadcast with enabled status that will be automatically launched on the set schedule.
  • Inactive broadcast — broadcast with disabled status that will not launch automatically.
  • Activation does not launch the broadcast immediately, but only allows it to launch on schedule.

Prerequisites

  • You are logged in with operator or administrator rights.
  • You have navigated to the Broadcast module via Apps -> Broadcast.
  • There is at least one inactive broadcast with a set start date in the system.

Step-by-Step Instructions

  1. In the Broadcast module, go to the "Broadcasts" section — a table with all broadcasts opens.
  2. Find the needed broadcast in the list — in the "Broadcast Active" column you will see a gray toggle (inactive status).
  3. Click the toggle in the "Broadcast Active" column — the toggle becomes green, showing active status.

What Happens After

The broadcast becomes active and will be automatically launched by the system at the set time (start date). Until that moment, the broadcast remains in waiting state.

How to Verify It Worked

  • Check that the toggle in the "Broadcast Active" column became green.
  • Make sure the broadcast start date is set correctly.
  • Wait for the launch time and check that the broadcast started sending.
