Schedule recurring departures

Create a daily, weekly or monthly schedule that keeps adding departures to your calendar for you.

A recurring schedule is a rule such as "every Monday and Thursday at 09:00". Samba creates the matching departures when you save it. If you leave the end date blank, it keeps adding new dates as time moves on.

Create a schedule

  1. Go to Calendar & Scheduling and select Manage schedule.

    The Manage schedule button on the Calendar & Scheduling page
  2. Select the experience you want to schedule.

  3. In Recurring schedules, select Add recurring schedule.

    The Recurring schedules section with the Add recurring schedule button
  4. Choose a Frequency: daily, weekly or monthly. For weekly, tick the Weekdays.

  5. Enter one or more start Times, in 24-hour format, such as 09:00 and 14:00.

  6. Pick a Start date, then decide how far the schedule runs:

    • Blank — Samba creates departures 12 months ahead and tops them up every day. To change how far ahead, enter 1 to 24 months in Generate in advance.

    • Set — Samba creates departures up to that date and then stops.

    The Add recurring schedule form with the End date field
  7. Set the Capacity of each departure and select Submit.

For a monthly schedule on the 29th, 30th or 31st, a shorter month moves the schedule to its last day, and it stays on that day afterwards. If you need "always the 31st", add a second schedule.

What happens next

  • The departures appear on your calendar straight away, marked Recurring in the experience's list of upcoming departures.

  • Each new departure starts at your regular prices, with the experience's add-on stock and, if you use Crew Management, its crew slots and tasks.

  • A schedule only ever adds missing dates. It never duplicates a departure, never changes one you edited, and never brings back one you canceled.

  • To stop or change it later, see Pause, change or delete a recurring schedule.
