Publish a social media post with Swonkie

🚀 What this workflow does

Automate publishing social media posts through the Swonkie Public API. Given a media file URL, a caption, and a target profile, this workflow handles the full end-to-end flow: uploading the media, creating the post, validating it against platform rules, and publishing or scheduling it, all without touching the Swonkie dashboard.

Use this as a starting point to connect Swonkie to any other tool in n8n: trigger posts from a CMS, a spreadsheet, a form submission, an AI agent, or any other data source.

⚙️ How it works

• Registers the media file in Swonkie's media library and uploads the binary directly to Azure Blob Storage using a signed upload URL
• Polls the media processing status every 3 seconds until Swonkie confirms the file is ready (SUCCESS) or stops with an error if processing fails
• Creates a new post with the uploaded media, caption, and target social profile
• Validates the post against Swonkie's network rules (caption length, media format, profile connection) before publishing
• Changes the post stage to publishNow (publishes immediately) or schedule

🛠️ Set up steps

• Sign up at swonkie.dev and connect at least one social media profile
• Go to app.swonkie.com/settings/workspace/public-api to get your App ID and API Key
• Get your Profile ID from the Swonkie API (GET /profiles) or the dashboard
• Open the Configure node and fill in: apiId, apiKey, profileId, caption, stage, mediaUrl and mediaName
• Run the workflow
