This app is a clone of buffer app.
Bufferapp schedules all the content which you find on internet to be posted all day to increase social presence.
Its simple actually.
Things you might need.
- [IFTTT account] (https://ifttt.com)
- dropbox account
- server which can run cron jobs
First whenever I want to schedule a post or the content i find on the internet, i save them in text files in the dropbox folder with certain format like
The filename should be yyyy-mm-dd HH:MM | name_of_the_post.txt
so it is scheduled to be posted on that time.
Now we can create IFTTT recipes for the posting action. whenever i send a mail to trigger@ifttt.com the post is posted to fb | twitter | other social media.
What i did was, i was using a free mailgun account. I made a ifttt recipe such that whenever i recieve a new mail from XXX@mailgun.com i'm posting the mail to the social media.
I'm running a cron job for every few minutes.
rename conf_demo.py to conf.py
There exists an IFTTT recipe, When we store a link (or mark it as view later in pocket) => a txt file will be saved to dropbox (but with different name). if we work a way around such that we can save it directly save with the required name we wanted. that would be great.
