Is this the same as setting the unpublish date in properties? Is this effectively setting the expiry date? Another thing, is it actually possible to set a default expiry date for certain nodes?
Also, we want to set reminder emails some time before content expires, and then again closer to when the content expires. How can this be achieved. Can it be done out of the box, or do we need a plugin?
I guess that depends what you mean when you say "Expiry date"? - Is it that the content should then be unpublished or should it just be marked as "expired" on the frontend facing page itself?
If you want to unpublish the content automatically at a certain date you should be able to set it in the "properties" tab. However it can sometimes be a bit unreliable though.
How do you set a node to expire?
Hi,
how is setting an expiry date normally done?

Setting up reminder e-mails would involve making use of the content service api, which you can learn more about here https://our.umbraco.org/documentation/reference/management/services/contentservice
Hope this helps.
