Feature Gates provide a safe, controlled feature rollout. Scheduled Rollouts add a time-based scheduling layer to Feature Gates, letting you pre-set any rollout schedule you want and execute it automatically. This is useful when a feature launch happens in another timezone or when your team follows a standard ramp-up schedule with every feature release.

Scheduled rollouts apply at the Feature Gate **rule** level for maximum flexibility. Not all rules in your Gate need to include a scheduled rollout. Set it up only for the rules that need it.

## Set up a Scheduled Rollout

To set up a Scheduled Rollout on a rule in your Feature Gate, tap the "…" in the upper right-hand corner of the rule you want to schedule a rollout for.

{% /figure %}

Select **Edit Rule or Rollout**, and then select **Schedule Automated Rollout**.

{% /figure %}

From here, configure each phase of your Scheduled Rollout. The upper right-hand corner shows your current pass percentage, which reflects the baseline pass percentage you entered for your rule and which you can change using **Edit Rule**. To add phases to your rollout, select **Add Phase** and configure as many phases as you need.

Each scheduled rollout phase includes:

* Rollout date
* Rollout time\*
* Pass percentage

{% callout type="note" %}
Rollout times are available in 15 minute increments. Additionally, each configured phase represents a discrete increase to the next rollout percentage, not a gradual rollout amortized over the course of the entire phase.
{% /callout %}

As you build your Scheduled Rollout, a preview of the phases appears below the configuration wizard. This preview is also available to viewers of your Feature Gate when they hover over a rule.

## Execute a Scheduled Rollout

After configuration, each phase of a Scheduled Rollout executes automatically on the specified schedule. Statsig sends Scheduled Rollout notifications to the Feature Gate creator, any editors, and anyone following the Feature Gate.

Statsig sends notifications through:

* Email
* Console
* (Optional) Slack: to configure Slack notifications, go to *Account Settings > Notifications*.
