With Keyhole’s scheduling feature, you can set precise start and end times for campaign trackers. This is especially useful for time-sensitive campaigns where you only want to capture data during a specific timeframe—like events, product launches, or limited promotions.

Notes:

  • Future Only: Start and end times must be scheduled for future dates. Keyhole does not support data collection from past dates.

  • Eastern Time Zone: Enter all times in Eastern Time (New York) to align with Keyhole’s system.


Set Start and End Times for a Tracker

Set your desired start and end times while creating a new tracker to control exactly when data collection begins and ends.

1. Go to Listening & Campaigns in the Keyhole dashboard.

2. Click Add New Tracker and choose Add Advanced Tracker.

3. In Tracker Settings, set your Start and Future end date.

4. Click Save to finish. Your tracker will start and stop automatically at the scheduled times.


Use Case Example

For a 24-hour campaign starting at midnight, set:

  • Start Time: 12:00 AM ET

  • End Time: 11:59 PM ET

This ensures Keyhole collects data only during the active campaign period.
