How can I configure a zap to post from Airtable to Linkedin at the scheduled time?

Best answer by Troy Tessalone

Hi @alikenyon 

Try this…

You’ll need a Date field in your Airtable Table.

Add a Formula field to the same Airtable Table to calculate the datetime difference between the DateTime and NOW.

Formula: DATETIME_DIFF(NOW(),Date,'hours')

Add a View to your Airtable Table that filters for a Formula field = 0 to trigger the Zap.

 

 

Steps

  1. Trigger: Airtable - New Record in View
  2. Action: LinkedIn - Create Share/Company Update
