Scheduler

Open Scheduler page

The Scheduler configuration page allows administrators to automate the publishing and unpublishing of content on their Drupal site. This module is essential for content editors who need to schedule nodes to be published or unpublished at specific dates and times. Key features include:

• Scheduled Publishing: Enable content to be automatically published at a specified date and time. This feature ensures that content goes live exactly when needed without manual intervention.
• Scheduled Unpublishing: Similarly, content can be set to automatically unpublish at a specified date and time, helping manage content lifecycle without continuous oversight.
• Integration with Cron: Scheduled actions are processed by Drupal’s cron system, meaning the actual publish or unpublish time will align with your cron run schedule. For example, if cron runs every hour, the content will be published or unpublished at the nearest cron run.
• Workflow Integration: Scheduler integrates with the Content Moderation module and provides conditions, actions, and events for use with the Rules module. This allows for advanced workflows and automation.
• Content Types: Each content type can have scheduled publishing and unpublishing enabled or disabled individually, providing flexibility in managing different types of content.

Using the Scheduler module helps streamline content management by automating the timing of content visibility, ensuring timely updates without the need for manual intervention. For more details and advanced configurations, visit the Scheduler module page.
