I want to automatically bump a topic once a week (it’s a reminder of certain policies). Timed Topics won’t work because it doesn’t do weekly or recurring. So I use the API to change the topic timestamp:
> **[Discourse API Docs](https://docs.discourse.org/#tag/Topics%2Fpaths%2F~1t~1%7Bid%7D~1change-timestamp%2Fput)**
This does change the timestamp, but the topic does not automatically jump to the top of Latest- the user has to refresh the page or click on the Home logo. I thought maybe when someone else eventually posted, then it would recalculate the Latest, but no- my bumped topic stays at a week ago.
How can I kick it so the bumped topic jumps to the top without a user refresh?
