Issue with Scheduled Posting – Posts Going Live Before Specified Date on Linkedin

Get Help
1

I’m currently facing an issue while using the platform to schedule posts that include both text and image content from my sheet.

Even though I’ve specified the exact post date for each entry, the system is posting some content earlier than intended. This is affecting the timing and coordination of my content plan.

Could you please help me resolve this? I’d like to ensure that posts are only published on the exact date mentioned in the post date column of my sheet.

Hey @Nandan_Keerthi! If you’re reporting an issue with a flow or an error in a run, please include the run link and make sure it’s shareable so we can take a look.

  1. Find your run link on the history page. Format: https://www.gumloop.com/pipeline?run_id={{your_run_id}}&workbook_id={{workbook_id}}

  2. Make it shareable by clicking “Share” → ‘Anyone with the link can view’ in the top-left corner of the flow screen.

Hey @Nandan_Keerthi, the way your current flow is set up is that whenever you run it, it reads through all the rows in your Google Sheet and checks for the condition on the post date. Basically, if the posted date starts with the date you’re checking for, it processes all those rows. So if you’re running this flow every day, or have it scheduled to run daily, it checks each time for that date match and then processes those rows, posting to LinkedIn.

It’s not really dynamic – the LinkedIn posting or the flow itself isn’t directly tied to the action of adding a post in your Sheet. The setup is linear: it checks for dates in the Sheet, and if the condition is met, it processes those rows.

So when you mention that even though you’ve specified a post date in the system, it’s posting content earlier than intended – do you have a specific example of that happening? If you can, could you share a run link from the previous runs tab? The LinkedIn post writer node will only execute when the filter condition is met.

Does that make sense? Basically, each time you run the flow, it checks for the condition. I know this is a bit tricky to explain, but hopefully that clarifies it. Let me know if you have a run link or example, and I can dig in further.

Hey there,
Just to share more context: my aim with this workflow is to treat the sheet like a content calendar, where posts go live only on the specific dates I’ve mentioned in the post date column.

The issue I faced was that, even though I had clearly mentioned a future date (3 days later) in the sheet, the post was still triggered and went live immediately when I ran the flow — instead of waiting until the scheduled date.
If there’s an alternative or a better approach to scheduling content based on dates , especially something closer to a true calendar-based posting logic — I’d really appreciate your suggestion and am open to restructuring the flow if needed. Thanks again.
