If something goes wrong

How it works
Explainer: The morning loop: when your brief runs
On weekday mornings, Orbit’s agents refresh what they can see, rank the three things that matter most and hold anything that needs your tap, ready on your Mission Control board. You choose whether it runs and at what hour.
- Orbit creates your schedule once you have a Mission Control seat and Gmail or Google Calendar connected. It starts on, at 07:00.
- It runs Monday to Friday. You can pick 05:00, 06:00, 07:00 or 08:00.
- The card shows when it runs next and when it last ran.
- If a scheduled run fails, Orbit tries it once more.
- Turning it off stops it until you turn it back on.
- It reads as you, and only for your own board.
- Your seat follows your Specialty Role in Team. An Agency Owner or Admin sets that.
Explainer: Specialty Role: what it changes
A Specialty Role names the work someone does, such as Paid Search or Strategy. It doesn’t change what they’re allowed to do. It can decide which clients they see, and which Mission Control board they get.
Client Access can show someone every client with the service that matches their specialty, for example All Paid Search clients. Specialties with no matching service can’t use that option, so assign their clients one by one.
Mission Control is switched on for some agencies only. Where it is, the board follows the specialty. An Owner or Admin whose specialty has no board sees the Executive board.
| Specialty Role | Client service it matches | Mission Control board |
|---|---|---|
| Executive | None | Executive |
| Paid Search | PPC | Paid Search & Social |
| Paid Social | Paid Social | Paid Search & Social |
| Programmatic | Programmatic | Programmatic |
| Account Manager | None | Account Mgmt |
| Strategy | None | Strategy |
| Creative | Creative | None yet |
| Analytics | Analytics | Analytics |
| Other | None | None yet |
