Overview

This node operation uploads a file to the Publer media library or directly to social networks. It is useful for automating media uploads in social media management workflows, such as uploading images or videos from binary data within n8n to be used in posts or stored in a workspace's media library. For example, users can upload a file from an incoming binary property and choose whether to save it in the media library or upload it directly to networks without storing a copy.

Use Case Examples

1. Uploading an image file from a binary property to the media library of a specific workspace.
2. Uploading a video file directly to social networks without saving it in the media library.

Properties

Output

JSON

• id - The unique identifier of the uploaded media file.
• url - The URL where the uploaded media file can be accessed.
• name - The name of the uploaded media file.
• type - The type of media uploaded (e.g., image, video).
• direct_upload - Indicates if the file was uploaded directly to networks without storing a copy.
• in_library - Indicates if the file is saved in the media library.

Dependencies

• Publer API

Troubleshooting

• If the specified binary property is missing or empty, the node will throw an error indicating the binary property is missing on the input item. Ensure the binary property name matches the incoming data.
• If the workspace ID is not resolved correctly, the API request may fail. Verify the workspace ID is valid and accessible with the provided credentials.
• Errors related to invalid file data or upload failures may occur if the binary data buffer cannot be retrieved or the API rejects the upload. Check the file data and API permissions.
