Hi - I am trying to create a zap from Wordpress to Airtable that sends over a Wordpress post when it’s scheduled.  My purpose here is that I also use Airtable and Zapier to create, schedule and send social campaigns on each post.  While I can get the Blog RSS feed to Airtable easily through Zapier, I’d like to get those messages done before the blog is published.  I may have to do this the old fashioned manual add way, but thought I’d see if anyone has done this successfully.  

 

Here’s what I tried: 

Zap trigger: New post in Wordpress 

The only Post statuses to select from are: 

  • Draft
  • pending review
  • private 
  • published 

I selected “Draft” and then added in a Filter Only if.  

When I look through the list of available fields, the only date fields I see (which all indicate the date the post was created, not the date it’s scheduled for) are: 

Post Date

Post Date GMT

Post Modified

Post Modified GMT

None of these show the date it was scheduled for. 

Any help appreciated! 

Thanks,

Jeannie

Sadly, it just doesn’t look like there is any way to detect a scheduled post based on that trigger data.


Hi @Jeannie Ruesch ,

Thanks for reaching out! 

To help us better understand what may be possible here, could you share a screenshot of your configuration (minus any personal info)?

We’ll be on the lookout and can dig in from there!


Hi @Liz_Roberts - Happy to! What parts do you want?   Here’s what I have in the first part, pulling from Wordpress.  That works fine if I select “Draft”. 

It’s the Filter step that I pause at, because there is nothing that I can see that filters off “Scheduled” or scheduled date or anything similar.  I added screenshots of the only date related fields I can find - and neither of them are the scheduled date. 

 

Thank you for your help!
