Run a happy-hour promotion across timezones

Set up one scene that turns on at 3pm local time, every weekday, in every timezone you operate in.

Prerequisites
  • A published playlist
  • Locations configured with correct timezones
What you will build
  • A "Happy Hour" scene that runs only between 15:00 and 18:00.
  • Correct behavior across Pacific, Mountain, Central, and Eastern timezones.
  • A peek-into-the-future preview to verify before going live.
  1. 1

    Build the scene

    Duplicate one of your existing scenes. Swap copy to "Happy Hour — $5 drafts and $7 cocktails 3–6pm". Save as a new scene.

  2. 2

    Attach a daypart schedule

    In the playlist editor, click the new scene's schedule icon. Pick "Daypart", weekdays Mon–Fri, 15:00 to 18:00, timezone "location".

    JSON
    {
  "type": "daypart",
  "days": ["mon","tue","wed","thu","fri"],
  "start": "15:00",
  "end": "18:00",
  "timezone": "location"
}
  3. 3

    Preview at a future moment

    Use Studio's timeline scrubber. Set "next Tuesday 16:30 local" and confirm the scene appears for all your locations.

  4. 4

    Publish

    Hit Publish. The scene shows up at the right hour automatically, per location's timezone — no per-region playlists needed.
