Mastering ScheduleManager

Learn to build complex schedules, use repeat rules, and leverage AI-powered gap filling.

⏰ Key scheduling techniques:

  • Dayparting (morning shows, prime time, overnight)
  • Weekly + monthly recurrence patterns
  • AI gap filling: auto-insert short fillers or promos
  • Overwrite protection & conflict resolution rules
  • Emergency schedule override (news flashes, alerts)

⚡ Advanced use case

Sync schedules across 5+ channels: use tags like #sports, #news, #kids to auto-route content while keeping each channel unique.

code API

REST API Integration Guide

Connect your existing systems with TVAutomation using our complete REST API.

🛠️ What you can build:

  • Upload media directly from your production MAM
  • Trigger live playlist changes via webhook (voting, donations)
  • Pull real-time as-run logs to third-party analytics
  • Auto-generate schedule from Google Sheets or Airtable
  • Sample code: Python, Node.js, cURL examples included

🔐 Security note

All endpoints support OAuth2 + API key rotation. Rate limits: 1,000 requests per minute for enterprise plan.

Live Branding with PaletteDesigner

Change your on-air look instantly — no downtime, no engineers, just one click.

🎨 What's inside:

  • Drag‑&‑drop lower thirds, bugs, and logo overlays
  • Live preview without affecting broadcast
  • Schedule branding "looks" for day/night/seasonal themes
  • Auto‑resize graphics for 9:16 vertical streams (TikTok/Youtube Shorts)
  • Use dynamic text variables: time, weather, trending hashtags

✨ Real-world example

A news channel switches to "Breaking News" theme in under 6 seconds — red banner + urgent music bed + lower thirds — triggered by an RSS keyword alert.
