Upload content to social media via Upload-Post API

Actions9

Overview

This node integrates with the Upload-Post API to manage social media content and user profiles. Specifically, for the User resource with the Create User operation, it allows creating a new user profile on the Upload-Post platform by specifying a profile name.

Common scenarios where this node is beneficial include:

  • Automating the creation of new user profiles in Upload-Post as part of onboarding workflows.
  • Managing multiple social media profiles programmatically without manual intervention.
  • Integrating Upload-Post user management into larger automation pipelines.

Practical example:

  • When a new employee joins a marketing team, an automated workflow can create a corresponding Upload-Post user profile with their designated profile name, enabling them to start scheduling and uploading posts immediately.

Properties

Name Meaning
New User Identifier The profile name to create on Upload-Post. This is the unique identifier for the new user profile.

Output

The node outputs JSON data representing the response from the Upload-Post API after attempting to create the user. The structure typically includes success status, messages, and any relevant user information returned by the API.

Example output JSON (simplified):

{
  "success": true,
  "message": "User created successfully",
  "user": {
    "username": "newUserName",
    "id": "12345"
  }
}

No binary data output is involved in this operation.

Dependencies

  • Requires an API key credential for the Upload-Post API to authenticate requests.
  • The node makes HTTP POST requests to https://api.upload-post.com/api/uploadposts/users endpoint.
  • No additional environment variables are needed beyond the API key configuration in n8n.

Troubleshooting

  • Common issues:

    • Missing or invalid API key credential will cause authentication failures.
    • Attempting to create a user with a profile name that already exists may result in an error from the API.
    • Network connectivity issues can prevent successful API calls.

  • Error messages and resolutions:

    • "Unauthorized" or "Invalid API key": Verify that the API key credential is correctly configured and active.
    • "User already exists": Choose a different unique profile name for the new user.
    • "Request timed out": Check network connectivity and retry the operation.
