Overview

This node operation allows users to create posts on the Postiz platform. It supports creating posts as drafts, scheduled posts, or immediate posts. Users can specify post details such as type, whether to use short links, the date and time for the post, tags, and an array of posts with channel IDs, groups, provider-specific settings, and content items including text and images. This operation is useful for automating social media or content publishing workflows where posts need to be managed programmatically.

Use Case Examples

1. Scheduling a social media post with specific tags and content for multiple channels.
2. Creating a draft post with detailed settings and content items for later review.
3. Publishing a post immediately with short links enabled and tagged for categorization.
