How to limit tweets per hour

LeoHardy — Question ·

Hi, I'd searched for this topic but couldn't find an answer so hopefully you can help.

Workflow: I'm posting new items from a webhook to Twitter. The number of items published can exceed 10,000 a day (in my case these are new jobs published to our site).

Problem: I don't want to spam the Twitter feed and would like to limit the tweets to one an hour to maintain a steady flow of content. With Zapier, I could do this by storing a number and resetting the number to 0 every hour, reference this in another workflow and then iterating / filter with it (article about this here: https://community.zapier.com/featured-articles-65/limit-the-number-of-times-your-zap-runs-each-day-week-month-etc-6435).

I can't seem to find an equivalent in Pabbly Connect. Does anyone know if this is possible?

Thanks in advance!

Hey @LeoHardy

Unfortunately, a batch execution on trigger limit is not yet possible. As a result, I'm afraid your use case is out of the question.

But you can try adding a Delay action step after the Trigger event for 1 min.

Thanks @Supreme. Good to know one way or the other.
