Hello,

We use Zapier to automatically publish posts to Facebook groups.

Facebook allows 25 posts per day, after which the account is blocked for 24 hours due to spam.

Is there a way to limit the number of posts in Zapier or to spread the posts over the day?


Regards
Andreas​​​​​​​

Hi @Andreas.K 

Good question.

You can use a Storage value to keep count and check again, then reset daily.

 

Zap 1

  1. Trigger: Schedule (Daily @ midnight)
  2. Action: Storage - Set Value (back to 0)

Zap 2

  1. Trigger: Schedule (Daily @ midnight)
  2. Action: Storage - Get Value
  3. Action: Filter (continue if less than 25)
  4. Action: Storage - Increment Value
  5. Action: Facebook Page - Create Page Post
