Hello,

I’m building an app where i need to display posts with a lifetime \< to 23h, i need to manipulate date but i didn’t find the solution.

I tried to do this : created date \< current date change hours to 23 change minutes to 0  
But it’s not working, i’m sure i do a misktake !

Thanks

This could be done in a few ways, but I’m not sure which plan you are on. If it were me, I would create a scheduled backend workflow to run every X number of minutes.

Tell it to display/delete posts when current time \> (post created date/time)+23 hours.
