Scheduled Publishing

Coordinate product launches and technical blog posts across time zones using ZyVOP's scheduled publishing engine.

Scheduling via FrontmatterCopy Anchor Link

Define the scheduled_at parameter in ISO 8601 format within your article's YAML frontmatter:

---
title: "Announcing v2.0 Architecture"
status: "SCHEDULED"
scheduled_at: "2026-10-15T14:00:00Z"
cross_post:
  devto: true
  hashnode: true
  bluesky: true
---

When you run zyvop publish post.md, the post is registered in ZyVOP with status SCHEDULED.

How Scheduled Publishing ExecutesCopy Anchor Link

ZyVOP's background scheduler scans every 30 seconds for due scheduled articles:

1. Transitions post status from SCHEDULED to PUBLISHED once scheduled_at is reached.
2. Triggers parallel cross-posting to all enabled destinations (DEV.to, Hashnode, Medium, Bluesky, WordPress, Mastodon, LinkedIn).
3. Evaluates author milestones, notifies followers, and dispatches newsletter digests if configured.
