> Automations sometimes take time from "live" to officially being functional. This is intentional as we don't want automations firing that my have incorrect targeting or design. \
> Typically, Cymbal schedules campaigns 2–4 days in advance. This allows you to review the scheduled campaign and validate the content before it goes live.\
> \
> Note: this doesn't always apply for non time based automations like abandon cart automations etc.
