Manage your social media via Apex.

Actions6

Overview

This node, named "Apex," allows users to manage social media interactions specifically related to tweets. The "Post Tweet" resource with the "Tweet" operation enables posting a new tweet directly to the user's profile. This is useful for automating social media updates, sharing announcements, or integrating tweet posting into broader workflows.

Practical examples include:

  • Automatically tweeting new blog post links.
  • Posting status updates triggered by external events.
  • Scheduling tweets as part of marketing campaigns.

Properties

Name Meaning
Text The content of the tweet to be posted. This is a required string input representing the text body of the tweet.

Output

The node outputs JSON data representing the response from the tweet posting API. This typically includes details about the posted tweet such as its ID, content, timestamp, and possibly metadata like user information or status codes. There is no indication that this node outputs binary data.

Dependencies

  • Requires an API key credential for authentication with the Apex backend service.
  • The node sends HTTP requests to the base URL: https://apex-backend-435707161213.us-west1.run.app/.
  • The "Post Tweet" operation uses a POST request to the /apex/tweet endpoint.
  • Proper configuration of the API key credential in n8n is necessary for successful execution.

Troubleshooting

  • Common issues:

    • Missing or invalid API key credential will cause authentication failures.
    • Providing empty or excessively long text may result in API errors.
    • Network connectivity problems can prevent communication with the Apex backend.

  • Error messages:

    • Authentication errors typically indicate missing or incorrect API credentials; verify and update the API key.
    • Validation errors on the "Text" property suggest the tweet content is invalid or missing; ensure the text is provided and meets length requirements.
    • HTTP errors (e.g., 4xx or 5xx) may indicate server-side issues or malformed requests; check the request payload and retry later if needed.
