I see several posts about limiting the number of times a zap runs, but I want to only pull X number of posts from wordpress per day. This might be 1 or might be 2, but currently there could be more which isn’t my goal. This should be the X number of most recent posts that haven’t already been pulled. They go to social media and I need this limited partly because of reducing the possibility of Instagram marking my posts as spam.
How does this work in Zapier?
Hi
You can log the posts in an app like Airtable.
Then you can configure separate logic to pull posts from Airtable and publish.
Perhaps check out these apps:
Thanks again,
Would this be the same with Google Sheets instead of Airtable?
GSheets can also be used as a lookup table.
Thank you very much. I have come up with a way that I think works whereby a row in a google spreadsheet is created with data from the post and adding some formulas to count records which are used as part of a filter in a later Zapier step. When it reaches that step the flow determines whether or not to proceed based on the value in the row which relates to the post the flow is currently processing. I think there may be some flaws in the data to reach my ultimate goal but this test was successful, so good that I proved how it can work. Thank you!
