Web banners: how to schedule a web banner

Prerequisites

To work with web banners, first, they need to be set by the Meiro team:

1. Meiro Events must be implemented. 

2. The Web banners tab must be enabled by the administrator for your user role.

3. Meiro Events API connection must be set in the Administration/ Settings tab.

Datetime

(does not take into account user’s timezone)

Possible to set: since, until, since-until for date..

This condition compares the time of the pageview with an absolute point in time, the evaluation doesn’t take into account the user’s timezone. At any given moment, it will evaluate the same for all users around the world.

Remember: In Meiro Business Explorer, input the datetime value in your own timezone.

Example: You have a campaign that ends on a particular day at noon of US eastern time (ET). You want to stop showing a banner when the campaign ends. You are currently using Meiro Business Explorer from Prague (CET). You select the operator “until” and input the datetime in your timezone 6 PM (which equals noon in ET). On the given day, at noon ET (6 PM your time), users all around the world will stop seeing the banner at the same time, regardless of their timezone.

Days of the week

(does take into account user’s timezone)

Possible to set: equals/ doesn’t equal for Monday - Sunday.

This condition takes the user’s timezone into account, i.e. which day of the week it is for the user.

Hours of the day

(does take into account user’s timezone)

Possible to set: equal/ doesn’t equal, until, since, since-until, for hours from 0-23.

This condition takes the user’s timezone into account, i.e. which hour of the day it is for the user e.g. if set to “equals 16”, this condition will pass if it’s between 16:00:00 and 16:59:59 for the user.
