Is it possible to schedule a post on Micro.blog through a Drafts action? @mtt

Through MarsEdit? @danielpunkass @miraz

@pratik @danielpunkass @miraz Not that I’m aware of. And the API doc on posting doesn’t list that as an option.

@pratik MarsEdit certainly has a date and time selection tool for a post. I haven’t tried scheduling a Micro.Blog for the future but presume it works just fine.

@Mtt @pratik @danielpunkass I’ll find out in about 5 minutes. 😀

@Mtt @pratik @danielpunkass My test just now worked fine. Set posting for about 5 minutes in the future and it published at my selected time.

@pratik I see there’s a keystroke for Edit Date…

@pratik Yeah, you can send from Drafts directly to M.b as a draft instead of published. You’d just need to edit the Action and add the parameter “post-status=draft”. You could also accomplish this with Shortcuts.

@pratik It can, or you can have 2 separate buttons that do whichever one without the prompt.

@pratik After just a quick glance on my phone, I believe it should go under this line:

@pratik Goodness, that would be a long post! I’ll have a think about it though and see what I can write up.

@pratik You shouldn’t have to reference it again. I can take a look when I get back from holiday travel if you haven’t figured it out by then.

@pratik An, good catch. Apologies on not responding, completely slipped my mind.

@pratik At last … I wrote this up a few days ago and thought I could maybe improve it. Instead you have this: miraz.me/2023/01/0… 😀

@pratik You’re very welcome. I hope it provides a taste of what it can be used for. Feel free to ask questions. 😀

@crossingthethreshold Thanks for reading. That didn’t cover all my uses by far, but I hope it gave a good taster. I’ve used KM for years now and regularly end up deleting old macros because the world has moved on.
