Make Automation Create an Shopify Article

Hi guys,

I wonder why my automation dos’t work.

I have a google sheet data base for my article.

Each line is an article that i want to publish. All Article have a publication date.

The date format is : 1 May 2024 12:00 (for exemple)

And my autmation never worked.

The problem is on make automation in Shopify Article.

There is a field for “published at”.

When i start a test, it can work but on shopify the article is instant publish and not like “programmed” or something like that.

I have test multiple date format, and no one working. I have test this "{{formatDate(parseDate(result; “X”); “MM/DD/YYYY”)}}
" in the make field (but not working)

The for you help make communauty !

@Mathieu_Malige

It seems the issue lies with the ‘Published at’ field, which requires date-type data. Please ensure that the mapped value is converted into a date field using ‘parseDate’.

Additionally, I couldn’t seen any data in the mapped variable. Could you please provide the google sheet out?

Hi @Msquare_Automation thanks for your reply.

Here’s the google sheet : Articles Miyota / Seagull - Google Sheets

Go on seagull tab and see on colomn “date-publi”.

Can you say me what i’m supposed to optimise for make my automation live.

Thanks a lot for the help provided

@Mathieu_Malige

Please use the parseDate function in this format: {{parseDate("{{4.date-publi(W)}}", "DD MMM YYYY hh:mm")}} . Map the field within the parseDate function.
