Advanced: Scheduled section publishing

🚨 This is an advanced task, intended for technical users. For tasks like these, the Mechanic team only offers support with platform-level issues. For help with task-level issues (e.g. debugging, configuration, customization, monitoring, etc), see Hire a Mechanic developer.

Tags: Advanced, Publish, Schedule, Sections, Unpublish

This advanced task allows you to schedule section publishing and unpublishing for your store. To use this task, enter a datetime to publish, a theme ID, and template names paired with one or more section IDs to publish or unpublish. If the configured datetime matches the current task run time at a scheduled 10 minute interval, then it will publish and/or unpublish the theme sections as configured.

Default options

{
  "datetime_to_publish__required": null,
  "theme_id__number_required": null,
  "template_names_and_section_ids_to_publish__keyval_multiline": {},
  "template_names_and_section_ids_to_unpublish__keyval_multiline": {}
}

Documentation

This advanced task allows you to schedule section publishing and unpublishing for your store. To use this task, enter a datetime to publish, a theme ID, and template names paired with one or more section IDs to publish or unpublish. If the configured datetime matches the current task run time at a scheduled 10 minute interval, then it will publish and/or unpublish the theme sections as configured.

Important Notes:

  • The datetime to publish must be in the format of "YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM" with a 24 hour clock time having minutes that are a multiple of 10, since that is the smallest scheduler interval available.
  • Template names should be entered without the .json suffix (e.g. index, page.contact).
  • Template names can appear in both the publish and unpublish keyval configurations, but they may only appear once in each since they are the left-hand keys.
  • Section IDs should be entered in the right-hand value fields, paired with their respective template.
  • Multiple section IDs being (un)published for the same template must be entered on multiple lines of the same entry field.

Example configuration

  • Datetime to publish: 2022-07-31 13:30
  • Theme ID: 1234567890
  • Template names and section IDs to publish:
    • index
      • collage
      • 123456abcdef
  • Template names and section IDs to unpublish:
    • index
      • 234561bcdefa
