Scheduling your content to publish automatically can be beneficial for many reasons.

Note: it will be set to the timezone of the Segment creator's or editor's device.

Common use cases for Scheduling Content

  • Being able to prepare content in advance and schedule it to go out automatically = time saver

  • Create consistency with when you post and update your content

  • Updating your users about business holiday hours or launching a festive welcome message

  • Scheduling regular content, such as monthly updates around releases or blog content
