Random RSS FEED item selected within date range

[Ryan_Thompson1]

Working scenerio using RSS feed to post to social media.

The scenerio works as intended.

It takes the RSS feed that i choose, and posts the latest item in the feed to the selected platforms

But i need the RSS feed to be randomized within a specified date range.

For example, i need one item from the last 7 days randomly selected and posted to my social media feed.

There is more detail and screen shots at this link

Selecting a random article from RSS feed and posting to external system v2

I am attempting to use an RSS feed to post to social media. I have this posting an article but it will not randomize the article. I read this article; That accomplishes my mission. Can someone post the JSON file for this to work, because I am stuck with following the logic. It looks simple, but in the tools and array aggregator, I just need the specific syntax.

$10 bounty for the correct syntax, paypal or cashapp

Thanks

@Ryan_Thompson1, follow the steps here

Use the “Get RSS feed items” module to retrieve all items from your chosen RSS feed.
Date Filter: Apply a filter to limit the items to those published within the last 7 days.
Array Aggregator: Use an Array Aggregator to compile the filtered items into an array.
Random Selection: use the {{get(shuffle()}}to get a random one

I don’t see the option for “random selection” or the input field to apply the “{{get(shuffle()}}” syntax.

Can you illustrate? Or post JSON output?

Thanks

Donald, I am so close I can taste it, thank you very much. I am getting this now though: [2025-01-04 11_26_47-Disruptarian redisribution _ Make] [2025-01-04 11_27_13-Disruptarian redisribution _ Make] [2025-01-04 11_27_37-Disruptarian redisribution _ Make] I have tried multiple fields, include just the URL field from the RSS feed. But I get the same error. I know this is looking me dead in the face, but I can’t see it. Please any more help would be greatly appreciated.

I am getting closer.

Any suggestions?

Im in the Philippines, and about a half day ahead of you…
I have everything working but the aggregation. I am so frusterated.
I wish I could just pay someone to fix it for me.
