# Campaign Scheduling

### Overview

The **Campaign Scheduling** feature allows you to **automate your campaign’s start and stop times** based on your preferred working hours.\
This ensures that your campaigns operate only during the designated time window — helping you maximize effectiveness, maintain professionalism, and prevent unnecessary usage of call minutes.

### Requirements

To enable **Campaign Scheduling**, you need to provide the following inputs:

* **Start Time:**\
  The exact time (in 24-hour format) when your campaign should begin each day.\
  *Example:* `09:00` for 9 AM
* **End Time:**\
  The exact time (in 24-hour format) when your campaign should pause each day.\
  *Example:* `17:00` for 5 PM
* **Time Zone:**\
  The time zone in which your campaign should operate.\
  This ensures that start and end times are applied accurately according to your local time.

### How It works

* Your campaign **automatically starts** at the specified **start time** each day.
* It **automatically pauses** at the specified **end time** each day.
* This routine continues daily **until the campaign is completed**.
* You can **manually stop the campaign at any time** — once stopped, it will not resume automatically unless you restart it yourself.

**Example:** If you set:

* Start Time: `10:00`
* End Time: `16:00`
* Time Zone: `Asia/Kolkata`

Then your campaign will automatically **run from 10 AM to 4 PM IST** every day.\
Outside these hours, the campaign will automatically pause and resume again at **10 AM IST** the next day.

{% hint style="danger" %}
While campaigns are scheduled to start and stop at the exact specified times, a **slight delay of a few minutes** may occur due to system processing time.\
You may notice your campaign starting or stopping a few minutes later than scheduled — this is completely normal and part of the processing behavior.
