Associate Vanity URLs with expiry date

[harishdev]

Hello everyone, 

I have a requirement to associate the Vanity links to an expiry date. 
(i.e.) Say I have a Page A 
on the Vanity section am using the following vanity links 

/campaign/1	01-June-2025
/campaign/2	25-Dec-2025
/campaign/3	01-Jan-2026

When the Vanity expires, I should not only remove this entry on the page but also update the links/CTAs that point to the expired page with some other link. 


Can you please suggest how to achieve this ? Do let me know if there is an alternative ?

Hi @harishdev 

I am not sure if there is any OOTB feature available.

But you can write a cron job that check those pages(configuration)-

• search for the reference via using RefreshSearch 
• remove the expired vanity from page
• Update the link refresh
• publish all the updated pages

Because automatically changing website content is a sensitive operation, I suggest, in addition to Arun's suggestion, that editors manually verify algorithmic changes before publication. This preview would allow editors to review the algorithm's output.

On top of the AEMaaCS will not support the crone job,

You need to use Sling jobs.
