Delay content publication

[Daniele Biagi (via Magnolia Forums)]

Hi, I have to add some marketing messages in my website, and these marketing campaigns will start at midnight, I was wondering if there is any way to edit the content in the pages and trigger the publication at a certain time/date? Without ask people to click the publish button at midnight.
If yes, how can I do that?
Btw, I am using Magnolia + Blossom

Unfortunately there is nothing ready.

2 options:
1) If you have EE, you can have your custom workflow
2) In CE you can have a scheduled job that run and check all the pages with a "scheduledActivationDate" set and trigger an activation command

We seldom used method 2 and works pretty fine.
HTH, Matteo

Hi Matteo,
I have found also another alternative, I can trigger a node update/deletion and publish/unpublish actions using the REST API.
