# Does Xoxoday Loyalife support time-based accrual rules?

> Xoxoday Loyalife supports time-based accrual and redemption rules, enabling admins to set date ranges, time windows, and day-specific conditions.

<Note>
  Xoxoday Loyalife supports time-based rules that restrict point accrual and redemption to specific dates, times, or days of the week—purpose-built for promotional periods, happy hours, and seasonal campaigns.
</Note>

Xoxoday Loyalife gives programme administrators precise control over when loyalty rules are active. Rather than applying a single flat accrual logic year-round, admins can define time windows that determine exactly when members earn or redeem points—down to the hour and day of the week.

**Configuring Time-Based Rules**

Within the Xoxoday Loyalife rules engine, each accrual or redemption rule can be assigned a validity window. Admins specify a start date, an end date, active days of the week, and time-of-day boundaries. Rules outside that window are automatically skipped, so no manual intervention is needed to pause or resume a campaign once it is live.

**Promotional Periods and Seasonal Campaigns**

Xoxoday Loyalife is built to handle limited-time incentive pushes without disrupting the baseline programme. A retail organisation running a year-end sale can configure a rule that doubles accrual points between 1 December and 31 December. Once the window closes, standard rules resume automatically, keeping programme integrity intact across the rest of the year.

**Happy Hour and Day-Specific Rewards**

For use cases where engagement peaks at predictable intervals—lunch-hour ordering, mid-week participation, or off-peak service activity—Xoxoday Loyalife lets admins activate rules only on selected days or within specific time brackets such as 12:00–14:00. This creates targeted micro-incentives without adding complexity to the overall rule set.

**Integration with Business Systems**

When Xoxoday Loyalife is connected to Workday or SAP SuccessFactors via API, time-based rules can align with payroll cycles or performance review windows. An organisation can activate a recognition accrual bonus exclusively during a quarterly appraisal period, ensuring rewards reinforce the right behaviours at the right moment. Active campaign alerts can be surfaced directly in Slack or Microsoft Teams so employees always know when a bonus earning window is open.

**Admin Experience**

Setting up a time-based rule requires no code. The Xoxoday Loyalife admin interface presents a single configuration form where rule name, trigger conditions, point value, and time window are all defined in one place. Multiple time-based rules can run concurrently, and Xoxoday Loyalife resolves overlaps using configurable priority logic—so there is never ambiguity about which rule applies at any given moment.
