I’m making my own social media platform and the theme is stories, I want to be able to use wix code to schedule a story which would be made with text, video, and photo/gallery and I‘ve been trying for awhile to make this happen as it would be very useful, also thanks in advance for any responses
Hey
What do you mean by schedule here? Do you want some code to execute at a certain time or in a certain interval? Do you want something to be available on your site/page at a certain time and day?
Yes some code, basically I want to make a post schedule kinda like YouTube when you upload a video at a certain time and day, I basically made a YouTube like social media platform through wix and I think it would be a lot easier for me to post my stories (photo, video, or text)
Hi James!
It depends on what exactly you’re trying to do.
If what your intend to do is to automate and trigger some reaction or processes without dependence on user’s activity in your site than note that this feature is not available yet in Wix, but , you can achieve it using a 3rd- party services such as ’ Zapier ’ and our very own Wix-fetch API .
Let me know if this is what you’re seeking for.
If not, please elaborate on the use case and we’ll try to find a solution that suits your need.
Doron.
Hey
You can also use easycron or similar services to execute a cronjob that will hit your sites api functions like every hour and then see if it is time to publish your post or not. You could also just make a field with a date/time fieldtype when you want stuff to be published and the query for that fields value to be greater or equal to the todays date and time.
I will try this out and see if it‘s what I need
@andreas-kviby I will definitely try this out, hoping it’s what I’m looking for
