Automation to schedule the publishing of my site not working?

I’m using Wix Studio and I am trying to schedule the publishing of my site, a new feature that was released today.
First I edited the site and left it unpublished. I then created a new automation with the first trigger to schedule the time, next I chose the action to publish site. After the chosen time passed I checked the site and found it was still unpublished even though the automation was shown to be triggered in the activity pane.
Here is a video of what I tried https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D4Cy9uTnKMM
Did I do it correctly and it simply doesn’t work yet or what have I done wrong?
Thanks for reading.

I could be wrong - but you might need to have published it at least once for the automation action to run correctly. If that doesn’t work, then I think we’ll need to open a bug report following the steps here.

I was hoping that I could make changes to the site during the day and it would auto publish at night. I cant publish after I work on the site as it is a cinema site and the timetable wouldn’t be correct. Needs to publish at night.

For sure - I read this as “the site has never been published before”.

But yes - that’s how it should work (publish at night in your case)

I unpublished the site and reset the automation. It did publish the site but not any of the changes I made. So it is partially working. Bug reported.
