Flipper Schedules can be used to automatically change or set the status of an adjustable toggle in the account at a specific time. This feature is helpful for scheduling time-sensitive events that require a toggle to be set to change routing. A good example is holiday routing. The Flipper Schedules can be located under Account Preferences > Flipper Schedules.
NOTE
For a flipper schedule to be created, an adjustable toggle must be present in the account. If you need to create an adjustable toggle, please check out our article here.
