What is your goal?Post on all social media sites AT SEPARATE TIMES from the same scenario
What is the problem?Trying to set separate times for each SM platform post. I created an automated SM content generator and post system. However, I’d like the IG post to post at a different time than the linkedin post. Can make help me do this in the same automation build?
What have you tried so far?Airtable/Google sheets.
Hi Reuben,
Yes, this can be done in the same scenario.
The usual approach is to split the flow into separate routes, one per social platform, and add a delay on each route. Each delay can be set to a different time offset, so Instagram, LinkedIn, etc. don’t post at the same moment.
Another option is to store a scheduled datetime per platform in Airtable or Google Sheets, then use Sleep until (or a date filter) on each route to wait until the correct time before posting. This gives you more control if the posting times change.
So you can keep one automation for content generation, and then handle platform-specific timing inside the same scenario.
Hope this helps.
Regards, Tony
Hey Reuben,
how separate do you want the times to be? Couple of minutes, couple of hours?
There is a built in timeout of 45 mins for each scenario so you cant have it wait indefinitely. Maybe its better to rework your flow and store the posts in a google sheet with their posting times in a separate column, then have each one trigger when the post time arrives.
Hi Stoyan! Thanks for the feedback. I may need to transition from Airtable to google sheets.
because I need to post on one platform more than 1x daily, google sheets with posting times may be the answer.
