Selected event badge
When an event is selected, a badge confirms the selection:Default duration
Both Spotlight and Promoted use a default duration of 48 hours (configurable per placement type). You can override this by setting a custom duration (1-168 hours) before scheduling.Paid order fulfillment
Partner promotion requests appear in the Paid Orders Queue card (on the same Placements page). To fulfill a paid order:Best practices
- Schedule during low traffic for major changes to avoid user confusion
- Use upcoming slots to plan multi-day campaigns in advance
- Monitor active count to ensure Spotlight slots aren’t oversaturated
- Test duration with 24-hour slots before committing to longer placements
- Check queue position when all Spotlight slots are full
- Clear history weekly to keep the timeline readable
- Use Promoted for general visibility without slot competition
