Delay in scenario I need to wait until a value I have ( ISO 8601 format (e.g., YYYY-MM-DDTHH:MM:SS) to trigger the next action - which is a social notification

Hi, I have a script that publishes a post to my site (wordpress), I have set up publishing using a time designation so I can save posts as scheduled and they will appear at the given time. I want to follow up in the same scenario with another action, but when the post gets published. In other words, I need to wait until a value I have ( ISO 8601 format (e.g., YYYY-MM-DDTHH:MM:SS) to trigger the next action - which is a social notification.
Is there any solution. The Sleep module won’t save me, even with a repeater I don’t know how to set the time, which can be in two days or a month.

Welcome to the Make community!

You can have a scenario watch new items and schedule a cron job callback using apps like 0CodeKit that allows you to schedule a “callback” to a URL defined in a “Custom Webhook” trigger in another scenario at the exact time you want

You don’t have to use a data store, this is just an example. You can use Google Sheets, Google Calendar, etc.

Alternatively, if you are already using Airtable, you can use an Airtable formula and built-in automation, briefly mentioned here.

Hope this helps! Let me know if there are any further questions or issues.
