We would like a block type that supports adding multiple image banners (each as a separate block) to be displayed as a slider. Each banner block should have configurable start and end dates (already possible through channels), allowing for scheduled visibility.
Additionally, banners should be taggable by marketing channel (e.g. Website, Email, Social Media), to align with our campaign planning and potentially trigger automation logic.
This would help content teams manage rotating promotions or seasonal messaging on key pages (like the homepage), without the need to manually publish/unpublish each image.
Benefits:
More efficient campaign execution and automation
Better homepage visibility management
Cleaner integration with internal campaign calendars and tools like Microsoft Lists
Enhanced customer experience with fresh, relevant banners
Hi Christian, thanks for the input on this one too!
We believe time-based banner sliders address a common need for managing i.e. seasonal and temporary content without manual work.
Leaving this to partners could lead to inconsistent implementations, lack of updates, and difficulties with integration into future automation or campaign features.
A built-in block would ensure a smoother, unified experience across projects.
Why is this in the Page Editing (beta) topic?
Personally a block with this functionality should be made by a partner as a custom block type. Maybe Litium can make this block, but i don't see the general use case for this for other partners.
