Question

Execute 10 zap per day

Hello,

I am looking for a way to make Zapier run in a similar way buffer.com does.

I am preparing a bunch of post, that need to be published in Telegram (Directly from Zapier) and Twitter (via Buffer)

As I am preparing the post in bunch, let’s say 70 for an entire week, and I would like that zapier will publish 10 per day, till the stack is empty.

I have seen this post

But is not exactly what I need, as I am looking the possibility that Zapier will get a stack of task, and will execute only 10 every day, till the stack is empty.

An alternative way would be a paid buffer account, but if I could manage inside zapier I would be happier.

Any suggestion?

Many thanks in advance,

Best regards

Hi @Bobonez 

Good question.

Seems like it would be cheaper to pay for Buffer for 2 Channels than to use Zapier.

$12/month for Buffer VS 29/month for Zapier

Thanks for replay, the point that I already have a zapier paid plan, so if I manage everything inside Zapier, I avoid another subscription.. :-)

@Bobonez 

You can look into using Airtable.

Airtable has these fields types:

Date & Time

Formula

 

Airtable has Views which are segments of Data. (sort, filter, etc.)

You can use Views to trigger Zaps.

 

The idea would be to create records and add a desired Date/Time to each record.

Then add a Formula field that compares the Date/Time to NOW().

When the Date/Time compared to NOW() is in the past, then the record can move into a View based on the Filter conditions.

That will trigger the Zap.
