I need to send data to an external API when a certain page type is published or archived. I am using an advanced workflow and I have created a custom action step for sending data and I've put it in front of the Published and Archived steps. It all works well for regular publishing, but I am having a problem with scheduled publishing (with @publish from@ and @publish to@) because the page has to be pushed to the Published step in order for the Scheduler to start checking if the @publish from@ date and time is reached and so my action step occurs at that time instead of when the page is actually published (when it reaches its @publish from@ date and time). Another problem is that when the page reaches its @publish to@ date and time, it doesn't get pushed into Archived step automatically, so my action step isn't executed at all and the page remains in the Published step, even though it is actually archived. Is there any way to get this functionality with advanced workflow?
