News Feed: Schedule

The Schedule sub-service manages the notifications delivered to news feed subscribers when listings are updated.

There are two types of schedules: default schedules and per-news feed schedules. A default schedule applies to all Active news feeds that do not have a specific schedule. Accordingly, default schedules are ignored when a news feed has a custom schedule created for it.

Schedule Description

Attribute Data Type Writeable Required Description
ResourceUri Character No No The URI to a scheduled notification.
Id Character No No The unique id for the scheduled notification.
Frequency Character Yes No 'Scheduled' or 'Instant'. If unspecified, will be detected by the absense (Instant) or presence (Scheduled) of the HoursOfDay, DaysOfWeek and DaysOfMonth fields. Read more about Instant notifications below.
HoursOfDay Integer List Yes No The hours of the day (0-23) the notification should be delivered on. A null value implies that the default hour for the MLS should be used, which may vary and can change.
DaysOfWeek Character List Yes No The days of the week (Sunday-Saturday) to deliver notifications on. A null value means every day, unless DaysOfMonth is specified.
DaysOfMonth Integer List Yes No The days of the month (1-31) to deliver notifications on. A null value means every day, unless DaysOfWeek is set.
WebhookId Character Yes No The webhooks to send the notifications for this news feed to. The following restrictions apply:
  • Webhooks cannot be added to existing schedules.
  • Webhooks can only be changed from, and to, hooks owned by the active developer.
  • Frequency must be Instant

See the webhooks documentation for more information on these types of notifications.
CreatedTimestamp Timestamp No No The date and time when the scheduled notification was last created.
 

Instant Notifications Explained

For certain news feed events, the Instant frequency is treated specially. The table below details the algorithm for Instant schedules for these types of events.

 
Event Instant schedule
New New events are delayed by roughly 10 minutes. This is done to allow the person entering the listing data time to make initial corrections before users are notified.
Expired Expired events are consolidated together into bulk notifications instead of being sent out individually. They will be sent out en mass roughly one hour after the first event.
Closed Some MLSs auto-close listings overnight. When this process is running, Closed events are consolidated into bulk notifications, just like Expired events.
Recommended The notification for the first listing with a Recommended event is immediate For the next hour, subsequent Recommended listings are queued to be delivered in a single notification once the hour has passed.
 

Expansions

None.
