odoo auto publish product

I'm trying to build an automation rule in Odoo 11 (enterprise) so my products can publish and unpublish on the website automatically.

We sell seasonal products, roughly 17.000, and we do a lot preparation in advance. So with "scheduling" (un)publish a product, we can save a lot work and automate this job.

So far with all my attempts, it's not working. I have created 2 custom fields for model product.template: x_publish_start and x_publish_end

I have created an automated action with trigger condition "based on timed condition" and apply it to products where x_publish_start is SET (not empty). Trigger date = x_publish_start

In the data to write, I have set the default field visible on website = TRUE

Basically, this should work?? But it's doing nothing in my end.

The condition is quite basic: if today() >= x_publish_start -> publish product if today() >= x_publish_end -> unpublish product

Anybody who knows what is wrong with my concept and automation, or can provide a working code example?

Thanks!

Those actions get triggered when editing a record (see action to do: update the record). What you need is more a cron that runs every day (or hour, minute...) and publishes/unpublishes products that match (or not) current date. The model you're looking for is ir.cron.
