Issue with Scheduled Publish Date Display Using CMS Blogs API

developer12 — Fri, 01 Aug 2025 03:59:52 GMT

Hi HubSpot Community,

We're using the CMS Blogs API to post blogs to our HubSpot website. The blogs are being created successfully, and we’re now working on scheduling them via the API.

When we set the publishDate using the API, the blog post initially shows the correct scheduled date in the UI. However, once the scheduled time has passed, the interface displays this instead:

Scheduled for [missing {{scheduledPublishDate}} value]

Has anyone else encountered this issue? Are we missing a specific field or format in the API request to ensure the scheduled publish date is retained and displayed correctly?

Any insights or suggestions would be appreciated.

Thanks!

Hi @developer12 !

Issue with Scheduled Publish Date Display Using CMS Blogs API

Yes, this is a known behavior. After a scheduled blog post goes live, {{scheduledPublishDate}} is no longer available — which is why you see:

Scheduled for [missing {{scheduledPublishDate}} value]

Solution:
Instead of using {{scheduledPublishDate}}, simply use:

{{ content.publishDate }}

This displays the actual publish date and works whether the post was scheduled or published right away.
Here’s how you can correctly schedule a blog post via API:

curl --request POST \ --url https://api.hubapi.com/cms/v3/blogs/posts/schedule \ --header 'authorization: Bearer YOUR_ACCESS_TOKEN' \ --header 'content-type: application/json' \ --data '{ "publishDate": "2025-08-01T12:30:22.425Z", "id": "post_id" }'
This schedules the post and ensures {{ content.publishDate }} reflects the correct time.

Hope this helps!

That sounds frustrating! 😕 Scheduled publish dates are crucial for smooth content planning. Have you checked if the API is correctly syncing time zones or caching issues? Sometimes clearing cache or reviewing API documentation helps resolve these glitches. Hope you get it sorted soon! For further details if anyone is interested to know about ppcine visit here
