Publish image & video to multiple social media (X, Instagram, Facebook and more)
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 upload_photos 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:
API Authentication:
In the HTTP Request nodes (Post photo/Post video), set the Authorization header:
Name: Authorization
Value: Apikey YOUR_API_KEY_HERE.
Form Customization:
Adjust the "On form submission" node to:
Add/remove platforms (e.g., YouTube when approved).
Modify file type restrictions (default: .jpg, .mp4).
Account Mapping:
Ensure the "Account" field matches profiles configured in Upload-Post.com (e.g., test1, test2).
Facebook Page Integration:
Optional: Add a Facebook Page ID field for page-specific posts.
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.
