The CMS Block Rules Extension allows shop admin to set customer group specific CMS blocks and make them active for a specific time period. When adding a new CMS block or editing an existing CMS block, shop admin can select customer group from the multi-select list and it will be shown only for those specific groups in frontend. Shop admin can also choose a 'Active From' and 'Active To' date for CMS blocks to display in frontend for a specific period.

Magento 2.3.x or 2.4.x.

Initially the block will be working as Magento default functionality because the block is not assigned to any particular customer group. 

When adding new CMS block or editing an existing CMS block, select the customer group for whom the CMS block should display in the front end.

If we select ‘ALL GROUPS’ from the list and save the block it will select the all the customer groups for you.

There is an option to select ‘Active From’ and ‘Active To’ date from which the block should be active. If the ‘Active From’ date is greater than current date, it will not get active. Also, the block automatically gets active when the ‘Active From’ date is reached and the block automatically gets disabled when ‘Active To’ date is reached. The module sets a cron job for that.

The CMS Blocks grid view will show the ‘customer group’ and ‘Active From’ and ‘Active To’ date.

Customer can select ‘Active from’ and ‘Active To’ date. If the ‘Active From’ date is later than current date, then it will not be possible to save the block. If you want to save this block you need to disable the block and save it.

The block will be enabled automatically when the ‘Active from’ date becomes current date.

for adding to a CMS page go to CONTENT > Elements > Pages. Select the page that you want to add the block to from Acton column Select > Edit. 

Select ‘Edit with page Builder’ from ‘Content’.

Drag and drop ‘Block’ from ‘Add Content’ section from the left side. 

Select the gear icon for editing.

Click the ‘Select Block’ button to add a block from the list.

Select the block using ‘Select’ button.

After selecting and setting the display settings from ‘Advanced’ section click on ‘Save’ button.

After closing the page builder, the block will show in the content section.

After all changes to page, we can save the page using ‘Save’ button. 

We can also add CMS blocks in other cms blocks and pages using:

We can add CMS block in phtml and xml layout file also,

In phtml:
<?php

echo $this->getLayout()

->createBlock('Magento\Cms\Block\Block')

->setBlockId('your_block_identifier')

 ->toHtml();

?>

<referenceContainer name="content">

<block class="Magentoo\Cms\Block\Block"  name="block_identifier">

<arguments>

<argument  name="block_id" xsi:type="string">block_identifier</argument>

</arguments>

</block>

</referenceContainer>
