How does Softr create and update its sitemap?

Hey guys :wave:

Over time, I’ve changed the URLs of my details pages, for instance from “job-details” to “job”.

Somehow, in the sitemap, there are still all the “job-details” URLs and none of the “job” URLs, which are crucial for me.

Any idea how I can recreate a sitemap?

Also, I seem to have 5 sitemaps?

<sitemapindex xmlns="http://www.sitemaps.org/schemas/sitemap/0.9">
<sitemap>
<loc>https://www.climateu.earth/sitemap1.xml</loc>
</sitemap>
<sitemap>
<loc>https://www.climateu.earth/sitemap2.xml</loc>
</sitemap>
<sitemap>
<loc>https://www.climateu.earth/sitemap3.xml</loc>
</sitemap>
<sitemap>
<loc>https://www.climateu.earth/sitemap4.xml</loc>
</sitemap>
<sitemap>
<loc>https://www.climateu.earth/sitemap5.xml</loc>
</sitemap>
</sitemapindex>

This is what my sitemap looks like.

Hello @Tim_ClimatEU Thanks a lot for reaching out, first of all because of that your sitemap is pretty big we combine each group of pages into a single sitemap URL for example as it is mentioned in yours sitemap1, sitemap2, sitemap3, etc…
When it comes to generating, Softr periodically generates the sitemap, however you can do that from your side too by typing in https://www.climateu.earth/generate-sitemap
A small note that it could take couple of hours until a new sitemap is generated, plus making sure that is your app is published is a good idea.

Thank you so much, Andranik! That really helps!

Do I need to keep the tab:
https://www.climateu.earth/generate-sitemap

open while it is generating the new sitemap?

No that is not needed @Tim_ClimatEU , I saw your question in the other thread this was related to the thread also as an extra tip I recommend you to upload all those Sitemap URLs to Google Search console and you can request force indexing on Google to recrawl.

Thank you, Andranik!!
Is there any way to ask Softr to auto-generate the sitemap every day?
We post jobs daily, so it’s a bit problematic for us to have to regenerate and to upload 8 urls again every day.
