Zap ignoring 30 minute gaps when scheduling to Buffer


Userlevel 1

We have a Zap which schedules social media posts to Buffer. The posts are to promote radio shows which go out every 30 minutes but for some reason it’s ignoring the minutes.

e.g an 11am show will be scheduled in buffer at the same time as an 11.30 show.

Does anyone know why this is happening or is it a bug in the buffer side of things?

It’s probably related to how you’ve constructed that time input - I’d add a ‘Formatter → Date/Time → Format’ step beforehand.

Hi @meganf 

Try removing the static “T” and replacing it with a space

The Time value is not configured correctly, notice the . between 11 and 30 that should be a colon :

Thanks Troy. I replaced the dot with a colon and it fixed the problem.
