n8n-nodes-postifys

Postifys (postifys.com) is a unified social media publishing API for Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, Pinterest, LinkedIn, and TikTok - via dashboard, REST API, or this n8n community node. It is a publishing API / automation backend, not a consumer content calendar.

Install in n8n → Settings → Community Nodes → n8n-nodes-postifys.

Features

• Credential type for your Postifys API key
• Credential test using your Postifys server
• Media → Upload - upload any image or video URL to Postifys and return a hosted media URL
• Dynamic dropdowns for connected Facebook Pages, Instagram accounts, YouTube channels, Pinterest accounts/boards, LinkedIn accounts, and TikTok accounts
• Auto field mapping for common input fields such as url, media_url, serve_url, drive_link, title, and caption
• Normalized post output with status, stage, isComplete, shouldPoll, published, failed, and failureReason
• Long Instagram videos expose restart-safe carousel item and parent progress while Postifys prepares the ordered carousel post
• Post -> Get Status operation for polling a configurable Postifys status endpoint
• Posts default to async: the node returns a postId immediately and Postifys finishes publishing in the background (same pattern as Instagram Reels). Use Get Status if you need the final result.
• Simple media output with only name and serve_url
• Publish Facebook Page images
• Publish Facebook Page Reels
• Optional Reel collaborators: Instagram usernames (up to 3) or Facebook Page IDs (up to 10)
• Publish Instagram images
• Publish Instagram videos/Reels
• Upload YouTube videos
• Publish Pinterest image pins
• Publish LinkedIn member posts (Company Pages not currently offered)
• Upload TikTok videos to the creator inbox (Direct Post only if separately approved)

Credentials

Create a new Postifys API credential in n8n.

The credential test calls:

GET /api/key/test
Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY

The media upload operation uses Postifys Server and calls the Postifys media queue.

Recommended workflow

Use two Postifys nodes in sequence when a platform needs a direct public media URL:

1. Postifys - Resource: Media, Operation: Upload, URL: your image/video URL
   → queues the media on Postifys, waits until it is ready, and outputs name and serve_url
2. Postifys - Resource: Post, pick your platform, set Media/Video/Image URL to ={{ $json.serve_url }}

Do not pass raw drive.google.com, Dropbox, or rednote.postifys.com/media/temp/... links directly to post nodes. Upload them with Media -> Upload first, then use the returned Postifys serve_url (https://postifys.com/media/tmp/...).

For batch workflows, leave Auto Map Input Fields enabled:

• Media upload can read common fields such as url, source_url, drive_link, or path
• Posting reads url, media_url, serve_url, and other common direct media fields
• Blank captions/titles can fall back to title or caption
• Rows without media can be skipped instead of failing the whole workflow

Status Polling

Use Resource: Post -> Operation: Get Status after a create step if your Postifys server exposes a status endpoint. The default path is:

GET /api/posts/status?postId=POST_ID&platform=instagram

You can change Status Endpoint Path to match the deployed Postifys API, for example a future /api/history/status route.

LinkedIn

• LinkedIn Post Type: Text, Image, Video, or Link Preview
• Text: required post text
• Image URL: ={{ $json.serve_url }} for image posts
• Video URL: ={{ $json.serve_url }} for video posts
• Title: optional image or link title
• Link: required for link preview posts

The node calls:

POST /api/linkedin/post

If you connect multiple Pinterest accounts in Postifys, choose the account first so the board dropdown loads boards for that account.

TikTok

1. Connect TikTok in Postifys first: open https://postifys.com/app → Add Account → TikTok (per-user OAuth).
2. In n8n:
   • Resource: Post
   • Operation: Create
   • Platform: TikTok
   • TikTok Account: select the connected creator from the dropdown
   • TikTok Publishing Method: choose Direct Post or Send as Draft for each item
   • Caption: optional caption text
   • Video URL: ={{ $json.serve_url }} from the upload node
   • Direct Post: reload creator-provided privacy options, manually choose visibility and interactions, set any commercial-content disclosure, then confirm TikTok's Music Usage Confirmation for that individual post
   • Send as Draft: Postifys uploads the video to the TikTok inbox; the creator finishes editing and publishing in TikTok

The node calls:

POST /api/tiktok/post

with tiktokAccountId (TikTok open_id from /api/connections) and
postMode (direct or inbox). Direct Post sends consent only after the
per-item confirmation is enabled. Privacy has no default, interactions start
disabled, and Postifys validates the choices against TikTok's latest
creator_info response. Draft delivers the media to the creator inbox.

Success statuses:

• PUBLISH_COMPLETE - direct feed publish (video.publish)
• SEND_TO_USER_INBOX - draft delivered to creator inbox (video.upload)

Output Shape

Post operations return normalized fields:

{
  "success": true,
  "platform": "instagram",
  "operation": "create",
  "postId": "POST_OR_HISTORY_ID",
  "status": "processing",
  "stage": "processing_carousel_item",
  "isComplete": false,
  "shouldPoll": true,
  "published": false,
  "failed": false,
  "failureReason": "",
	"mode": "carousel",
	"itemsTotal": 9,
	"itemsReady": 3,
	"itemsFailed": 0,
	"currentItem": 4,
	"carouselsTotal": 1,
	"carouselsPublished": 0,
	"items": [],
	"carousels": [],
  "url": "",
  "historyId": "POSTIFYS_HISTORY_ID",
  "raw": {}
}

Continue polling while shouldPoll is true. Stop when isComplete becomes true; then check published, failed, and failureReason. Long Instagram videos include mode: "carousel", item counters, and parent-carousel counters. Finished child containers are preparation state, not separate published posts. Use raw when you need the full Postifys response.
