Publishing Campaigns
Learn how to preview, schedule, and publish your campaigns to make them live for visitors.
Publishing is the final step in launching your campaign. Firebuzz provides a multi-step publishing workflow with preview, scheduling, and production deployment options.
Publishing Workflow
Every campaign follows this publishing path:
Draft → Preview → Production (or Scheduled)Draft
Build and configure your campaign. Not visible to visitors.
Preview
Test your campaign on a private preview URL before going live.
Scheduled
Optionally schedule your campaign to go live at a specific time.
Published
Your campaign is live on your production domains.
Campaign Status Button
The status button in your campaign header controls publishing:
- Shows the current status (Draft, Preview, Scheduled, Published, Completed)
- Click to open the publishing menu with available actions

You cannot publish a campaign with validation errors. The publish button will be disabled until you fix all critical errors.
