RSS -> Data Store -> Schedule on Facebook and X

Hi,

I have a scenario that looks like this:

I have two questions:

  1. Right now the RSS-feed can pick up to 5 items every 5th minute. But if one of the items already exists in my data store, the entire cycle is being canceled. So if item 3/5 exists, item 4 and 5 will never get the chance to be recorded into my data store. How can i fix this? I still don’t want a duplicate in my data store.

  2. If there are 5 items in the rss feed. What is the best way to spread out the publishing time on my social accounts (Facebook and Hootsuite in this scenario). I would like to set it up like this:

Item 1 - publish direct
Item 2 - schedule 15 minutes
Item 3 - schedule 30 minutes
Item 4 - schedule 45 minutes
Item 5 - schedule 60 minutes

Thanks in advance!

Hi, anyone who can help me with this?

Need help with question #2, managed to solve the other one

Hey @John_Nyvelius

Make does not have any native functionality for the case you have described about scheduling different publishing intervals for each item, unfortunately.

If it would work for you, I believe you can set the ‘Maximum number of returned items’ in the ‘Wach RSS Feed Items’ module to 1 and change the scheduling of the scenario to every 15 minutes, this method should have the same result as what you previously described.
