Hey there, hope you’re doing great!​

Automation Templates are here to help you skip the guesswork. Browse ready-made workflows for common tasks and start automating in just a few clicks. Free up hours of repetitive work in minutes.

We also added a handy new setting: you can now set a default due date for all new slots in your publication. No need to set it on every time again. Pretty neat, right?

FEATURE
​🦾 Create Automations Faster with Templates

Sponsy Automations are definitely one of the top features in Sponsy.

They handle the boring stuff such as reminders, follow-ups, and coordination, so you don’t have to. Setup once, and free up hours of your time instantly.

But here’s the catch: even though automations save tons of time, it’s not always obvious where to start. Maybe you're unsure what’s possible. Maybe it just seems… complicated!

That changes today.

We’re rolling out Automation Templates to help you get up and running in seconds. These pre-built workflows tackle common use cases across publishers and spark new ideas you might not have thought of yet.

Some examples you can try:

  • Remind sponsors to upload their assets via the portal
  • Trigger a renewal proposal the moment a deal wraps up
  • Send internal nudges when ad slots are still missing creatives
  • Auto-share post-campaign reports with a personalized message

And the best part? You can customize any template to fit your workflow. Simply put, you're starting from a solid base instead than from scratch.

❤️ Special Thanks

Big shoutout to all the Sponsy power users who pushed Automations to the limit and showed us what's possible. Your creative workflows and real-world use cases helped shape this release. You're the real GOAT!

FEATURE​
​⏰ Set a default Due Date for a publication

The slot Due Date is the deadline for your customers to provide all the necessary materials. The due date will appear in their Customer Portal and can be used to send reminders with Automations. You can set it as a fixed date or relative to the slot, such as one week before the ad goes live.

If you're using it, you're probably setting the due date on every slot. You can now save time by setting a default due date for all new slots in your publication(s). No more manually picking a due date each time!

In order to configure it, go to your Publication settings, then to Schedule, and configure to your liking.

❤️ Special Thanks

Many thanks to Sam from The Bentonville Bulletin, Sébastien from This Week In React and many more for this feature request!

Until now, keeping those two worlds aligned usually meant reminders, manual updates, or the classic "did you update this yet?" Slack ping. With this update, your sales team can stay...
