# Scheduling Userflow experiences

You can set up “Auto-start” or “Only Show If” conditions to schedule a Userflow experience to begin and end at specified future dates and times. The conclusion date is optional, allowing you to simply specify a date and time after which the auto-start/only show conditions will trigger the experience.

> [!NOTE]
> Which experiences can be scheduled?
> 
> You can use this method to schedule the following Userflow types: Flow, Checklist, Launcher, Resource Center, Embed (Banner or Checklist), Announcement, Event Tracker.

1. In the builder, activate the **Auto-start**or **Only show if** option using the toggle switch ![](https://cdn.us.document360.io/9697557a-eb5d-476f-9b09-062b0f7bdcbd/Images/Documentation/image(615).png) ![](https://cdn.us.document360.io/9697557a-eb5d-476f-9b09-062b0f7bdcbd/Images/Documentation/image(620).png)

4. (Optional) Add an end date and time, if desired.
5. Click **Publish**when ready.

## Using the ‘Temporarily Hide Flow’ option to end a flow

There may be instances when you set an end date for a Flow (or other experience), but a user has started it but not completed or dismissed it yet. In this case, the user may still see the flow appear even after the end date has passed.

Add a **Temporarily Hide Flow** condition for Current time and set a date after which the flow should be hidden, regardless of the user’s completion status. ![](https://cdn.us.document360.io/9697557a-eb5d-476f-9b09-062b0f7bdcbd/Images/Documentation/image(630).png)
