Scheduling a Blog post

Hi there,

 

I was wondering if it was possible via the API to schedule a blog post to publish at a later date. 

 

Thanks

    Hi kretzm 

     

    I don't think that is possible directly (i.e. post a new blog with a publish date in the future). What you could do instead is to post a message using the message.is_draft flag to true (so it's a draft and not published), and later on update that same post to remove the draft status so it gets published.  Not the same thing but may be still useful depending on your use case.

    I thought this was built into the blog area?

    Maybe it was changed in a recent update?

      Hi Quelyn 

       

      as you noticed - this feature is indeed available in our standard UI, however it is not available via API (or at least, not to my knowledge).

       

      Thanks,
