I figured how to schedule posts/builds for Hugo!

tips & tricks

After a LOT of experimentation, I figured out how to schedule posts in Hugo.

My client sites rely on news embargos, meaning the post should go live precisely at a certain time, and other client sites have events pages that have to be rebuilt at a specific time for them to be marked as ‘concluded’.

I finally built a solution that so far has been able to handle almost all use cases I’m throwing it’s way.

I’m still proof reading the guide, but will make a video guide on this soon!

Tools used:

  • Nodejs
  • Hugo (duh!)
  • Build Hook URL (from your vercel, Netlify, or cloudflare dashboard)
  • Google’s AppScript (you can also do this via any framework once you understand what I’ve built)

Hope this helps! :slight_smile:
