📘 This article explains deploying PageWorkers' optimizations. PageWorkers is part of Botify's Activation Suite, available as an option with all Botify plans.
Overview
When you initiate the deployment of an optimization, you have the option to deploy it immediately or schedule it for future deployment. Scheduling PageWorkers optimizations to be deployed at specific times enables you to plan for time-sensitive events, such as Black Friday. It eliminates the need to deploy optimizations manually at inopportune times. Scheduling is also beneficial for avoiding outdated event-based content on your site pages, as this can be cumbersome to track.
Deploying Immediately
To deploy an optimization immediately:
On the optimization’s Overview tab, click Deploy to production.
Select the “Deploy now” option, then click Deploy. The changes you have configured will be applied to the pages on your site that include the Botify JavaScript snippet.
Scheduling Deployment
To schedule an optimization to be deployed in the future:
On the optimization’s Overview tab, click Deploy to production.
Select the “Deploy later” option.
Select the date and time when the optimization will be deployed. The time zone is from your Botify project settings.
Optionally select a date and time when the optimization will be paused, then click Schedule. The schedule is confirmed in a banner on the optimization’s Overview tab, and the status is changed to Scheduled.
Editing a Schedule
To change a scheduled deployment to another date or time:
Click Edit scheduling at the top of the optimization’s Overview page.
Select an alternative date and time for when the optimization will be deployed, then click Schedule. The updated deployment schedule is confirmed in the banner and on the PageWorkers Overview page.
Removing a Scheduled Deployment
To remove a scheduled deployment:
Click Edit scheduling at the top of the optimization’s Overview page.
Click the Remove schedule link.
Click Remove on the confirmation dialog. The scheduled deployment is canceled, and the optimization returns to the Draft state.
Scheduling a Paused Optimization
Optimizations in the Paused state must be activated before you can schedule deployment.
To schedule a paused optimization:
Click Activate at the top of the optimization’s Overview tab.
Follow the instructions to schedule a deployment.
