Hi,

My scenario works wonders, but now I want to know how I can get the filter to only pass a post only if the time is in the morning or in de afternoon, to spread the posting.

Uptill now I used to run the scenario on a specific time and then both posts will be posted that were scheduled that day I though when I let it run every 6 hours of 11 hours, what ever can make it post spread through the day, I could make the filter make choice. But I can’t get the filter to choose the right post.

Here is my blueprint

blueprint.json (75.6 KB)

and I tried this, but it would still send both post one in 10:30 and 14 through

It is not really clear to me how I can make it work

thanks in advance

HI @synnabox,

I testeed your filter and it seems to work. Do you have an example of runs that posted twice with the resulting conditions? The condition filter should show you what went through and which condition allowed it to go through.

Hi Duperval,

I think I don’t know well enough where to look which content goes through. I tried the filter and when I let it run once, it works.
I have to wait until tomorrow to see if the new post tomorrow will be posted like I intented.

thanks for testing.

Hi,

yeah, I doesn’t work like I intended.

The filter now also picks posts from the future. Today it posted the post of the 12th and later in the day the post of the 14th. For now I’ll just post 1 post max per day, which is fine anyway for now. But if someone can solve this riddle, it would be appreciated.

I recorded a quick video to explain what to look for:

Hi Duperval,

thanks I didn’t have the time to review your video before now. I know now how to see how a filter will of will not work. When I try again with this filter, I’ll check this out.
