This Workflow streamlines the process of publishing posts (image or video) to multiple social media platforms using a unified form and a third-party API service called Upload-Post. The automation starts with a form trigger, allowing users to submit content (text and media) through a simple frontend interface. Users select the platform (Instagram, LinkedIn, Facebook, X, TikTok, Threads), choose the profile name, write a caption, and upload a photo or video. --- How It Works Automates cross-platform social media posting via Upload-Post, handling both images (JPEG) and videos (MP4). Here’s the process: - Trigger: - A form submission captures user inputs: - Platform (Instagram, LinkedIn, Facebook, X, TikTok, Threads). - Account (pre-configured profile name). - Caption and file (image/video). - Optional Facebook Page ID for targeted posting. - Routing: - The "Video or Photo?" Switch node checks the file’s MIME type: - Image: Routes to the "Post photo" HTTP node (uploads via uploadphotos API). - Video: Routes to the "Post video" HTTP node (uploads via upload API). - API Integration: - Both nodes send data to Upload-Post.com’s API, including: - Caption, account name, platform, and file binary. - Facebook ID (if provided). - Success/Failure Handling: - The "Result Photo/Video" nodes parse the API response. --- Setup Steps Prerequisites: - Upload-Post.com API Key: - Get it from the API Keys dashboard. - Free tier allows 10 uploads/month. Configuration: 1. API Authentication: - In the HTTP Request nodes (Post photo/Post video), set the Authorization header: - Name: Authorization - Value: Apikey YOURAPIKEYHERE. 2. Form Customization: - Adjust the "On form submission" node to: - Add/remove platforms (e.g., YouTube when approved). - Modify file type restrictions (default: .jpg, .mp4). 3. Account Mapping: - Ensure the "Account" field matches profiles configured in Upload-Post.com (e.g., test1, test2). 4. Facebook Page Integration: - Optional: Add a Facebook Page ID field for page-specific posts. 5. Testing: - Submit test forms with images/videos. - Verify API responses and success/failure messages. Optional Enhancements: - Add error logging (e.g., save failed attempts to a database). - Extend to YouTube once API support is confirmed. --- Key Features: - Multi-Platform: Post to 6+ social networks simultaneously. - User-Friendly: Simple form interface for non-technical users. - Error Handling: Clear feedback for success/failure cases. --- Need help customizing?
