Usage

Create a campaign

Follow the guide to add pages and documents to a new or existing campaign.

Edit the campaign

To edit a campaign, go to the Campaigns tab and click the cog icon of the campaign you wish to schedule.

Then, open the Schedule tab and set a date and time. You can also associate watchers (members) to the campaign so they will receive an email once the campaign has been published via cron.

Note: if a date is set in the past, the campaign will published as soon as the cron runs. Also a campaign can still be published manually at any time.

Test

Locally

To test this functionality locally, set up a schedule for a campaign then run sake dev/cron. This will run the cron task and if the campaign's schedule is in the past, it will get published.

Note: make sure your local environment has the right timezone set up.
