Wix Automations: Scheduling Your Site to Publish

2 min
Use Wix Automations to publish your site at a specific date and time automatically. If you’re launching a special design or updating for an event, you don’t have to publish the changes manually. By pairing the 'Publish site' action with a 'Scheduled Time' trigger, you can automatically publish your new site design on the selected date and leave the tedious tasks to automations.

To schedule your site to publish:

  1. Go to Automations in your site's dashboard.
  2. Click + New Automation at the top right.
  3. Click Start from Scratch to begin from a blank automation template. 
  4. Click the title to give your automation a name.
  5. Click Scheduled time as your trigger.
  6. Select a Start date.
  7. Select a Start time.
  8. (Optional) Enable the Repeat toggle:
    • Set how often the trigger repeats (e.g. day, week, month). 
    • Click the drop-down menu to select an End
      • Never: Trigger doesn't have a set end date.
      • On specific day: Select a specific date for the trigger to end. 
  9. (Optional) Enhance your automation further by adding a Condition, Delay, or Variable
  10. Click the Add Step icon   and add an Action.
  11. Click Publish site
  12. Click Activate or Save at the top right.
