# Automate Posts to BlueSky🦋 with BlueSky API, Cloudflare Workers, Cron Triggers

[](https://youtu.be/489fB42i_zA "Automate Bluesky Posts using Cloudflare Workers, Cron Triggers, and the Bluesky API!")

This [Cloudflare Workers](https://workers.cloudflare.com/) app 👩🏻‍💻 makes use of [Cron Triggers](https://developers.cloudflare.com/workers/configuration/cron-triggers/) to automate posting once a day to [Blue Sky](https://bsky.app/).

Check✅ it out on [Blue Sky here](https://bsky.app/profile/offby1bot.bsky.social)!👀

## Setup

You need a Cloudflare account. Copy [.dev.vars.example](./.dev.vars.example) to `.dev.vars` and add your `BLUESKY_USERNAME` and `BLUESKY_PASSWORD`.

```bash

npm install

npx wrangler login # if it's your first time here

```

If you want to start from scratch, run

```

npm create cloudflare@latest

```

and pick `Hello World Example` and `TypeScript`.

In [wrangler.toml](./wrangler.toml), you can set the time to post in the `crons` array beneath the `triggers` configuration. Reminder--cron tabs are written in UTC. I used the [Cloudflare Workers AI LLM Playground](https://playground.ai.cloudflare.com/) to generate my cron tabs using this system message from my wonderful teammate [Craig Dennis](https://twitter.com/craigsdennis):

```

You help write cron tabs.

The user will give you a description of time they are looking for and your job is to generate a cron tab string.

The user will specify timezones, you know the server runs in UTC.

Return the cron tab and the explanation.

```

## Develop locally

```bash

npm run dev

```
