🎯 PURPOSE: Automated media upload pipeline that downloads videos and images from Google Drive and uploads them to Postiz storage for social media posting.
🔄 WORKFLOW PROCESS:
🔧 TECHNICAL DETAILS: • API: Postiz /upload endpoint (multipart-form-data) • Storage: Converts Google Drive files → Postiz URLs • Integration: Updates Airtable with Postiz paths • Required: All media must be uploaded before posting
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
🎯 PURPOSE: Automated multi-platform social media posting using Postiz API. Distributes content across Instagram, Twitter/X (2 accounts), LinkedIn, and Facebook with platform-specific content cleaning and formatting.
🔄 COMPLETE WORKFLOW PROCESS:
📋 PLATFORM COVERAGE: • 📸 Instagram (Visual content + captions) • 🐦 Twitter/X Main Account (Text + images) • 🐦 Twitter/X Alt Account (Duplicate posting) • 💼 LinkedIn (Professional content) • 📘 Facebook (Meta ecosystem posting)
⚠️ CRITICAL CONTENT CLEANING: • Removes line breaks (\n), carriage returns (\r), tabs (\t) • Replaces multiple spaces with single spaces • Prevents 'JSON parameter needs to be valid JSON' errors • ESSENTIAL: Without cleaning, all API calls fail!
🔧 TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS: • API: Postiz /posts endpoint (POST) • Authentication: HTTP Header Auth • Content-Type: application/json • Posting Type: Immediate ('now') + 1 minute delay • Media: References pre-uploaded Postiz image paths • Rate Limit: 30 requests/hour (API beta limitation)
🔗 DATA SOURCES: • Content: Airtable • Media: Pre-uploaded via separate media upload workflow • Fields: instagram_caption, linkedin_post, twitter single, faceboook • Images: References 'postiz image' field paths
⚡ EXECUTION FLOW: Airtable → Integrations → Platform Router → Content Cleaners → Social Publishers
🚨 TROUBLESHOOTING: • JSON Errors: Check content cleaning nodes • 500 Errors: Verify integration IDs and account connections • Missing Media: Ensure media upload workflow ran first • Rate Limits: Space out executions (30/hour limit)
🔄 DEPENDENCIES: • Requires: Media upload workflow (for image/video paths) • Connects to: Analytics and monitoring workflows • Updates: Airtable with posting status and URLs
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
⚠️ CRITICAL NOTES: • Cannot use external URLs in Postiz posts • Files must be uploaded to google drive first - id referenced in airtable • Enables reference tracking for all platforms
📊 DATA FLOW: Google Drive → Download → Postiz Upload → Airtable Update
🔗 CONNECTS TO: Main social media posting workflows that reference these uploaded file paths for Instagram, Twitter, LinkedIn, Facebook, and YouTube posting.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
🎯 PURPOSE: Automated video content distribution across Instagram, Facebook, and YouTube using Postiz API. Specialized workflow for video content with platform-specific processing and cleaning.

Use the JSON export at /data/workflows/5943/5943.json as the source template for this automation.
Open n8n, import the downloaded JSON, and review each node before activating the workflow.
Replace placeholder credentials, API keys, webhook URLs, account IDs, and environment-specific values with your own settings.
Run the workflow manually or in a staging workspace, inspect node output, and confirm downstream systems receive the expected data.
Enable the workflow only after testing, then monitor executions, errors, and rate limits during the first production runs.
Review imported nodes carefully before activation. This catalog entry is intended to help you inspect the workflow structure, understand required services, and find related templates faster.
Node names, credentials, schedules, webhook paths, and external service limits may need adjustment for your workspace.
