Hi. I’m a beginner and I think this is an easy task but I'm suck here for several days. 

I'm receiving multiple rows in a batch coming from an Google Spreadsheet. Then I want to publish them in Linkedin/TW one by one. The problem: I want to schedule the publication of each one of the rows: difference +1h each one, specific time, etc. But now all the rows I receive are published instantly at the same time. I've tried different options/zaps but can't find the way.

 

Any help is really appreciated. Thanks.

Thanks for your reply.

Sure, here have the set up. Following Zapier Support advise I’ve added a delay step with the formula {{zap_meta_human_now_unix + (3600 * loop.index)}} to add 1 hour to the current time for each row. But still it’s not working and all the rows are being posted at the same time.
