    Article summary

    Plan your regular announcements with the Announcement scheduler so you can automate part of your generic announcements. Once your schedules are configured, you can easily track all schedules for announcement playback in the Planned announcement tab. The existing schedules can then be modified or disabled from both Announcement scheduler and Planned announcement tabs.

    To automize your flight-related announcements, please contact the Simpleway team at cloud@simpleway.global .
