About the integration
The Social media studio community node for n8n is published on npm as @social-media-scheduler/n8n-nodes-social-media-scheduler. It adds an action node that creates, schedules, updates and retries posts, manages drafts, uploads and validates media and lists your connected accounts, plus a trigger node that starts a workflow when a post is created, scheduled, published or fails, or when a draft becomes a post.
What you can automate with n8n
n8n is where many teams already wire their tools together. With the node installed, publishing to your social accounts becomes one more step in a workflow instead of a separate tab, whether the content comes from a feed, a spreadsheet, a form or an AI model.
- Create, schedule, update, retry and delete posts on every publishing destination you have connected
- Save posts as drafts for review, then convert a draft into a scheduled post
- Upload images and videos, and check each file against the destination's media rules before posting
- Add thread parts, a first comment or TikTok privacy options to a post
- Start workflows when a post is created, scheduled, published or fails, when a draft is converted, or when a quota limit is reached
How to set it up
Install the package on a self-hosted n8n instance, then add one credential with an API key from your workspace. Both nodes share that credential.
- 1In n8n, open Settings → Community Nodes, choose Install and enter @social-media-scheduler/n8n-nodes-social-media-scheduler. Only an owner or admin of the n8n instance can install nodes.
- 2In Social media studio, open Settings → API and create an API key. Only workspace owners can create keys.
- 3In n8n, create a Social media studio API credential and paste the key. The node sends it as the X-API-Key header.
- 4Add the Social media studio node for actions, or the Social media studio Trigger node to start a workflow when an event fires.
Example n8n workflows
Blog post to scheduled social posts
An RSS trigger picks up a new article, an OpenAI node writes a short caption, and two Post → Create steps schedule it on LinkedIn and X a few hours later.
Content calendar in Google Sheets
A Google Sheets trigger reads each new row with the caption, platform and date, and Post → Create schedules the post for the time in that row.
New YouTube video to LinkedIn and X
Your channel's RSS feed starts the workflow on each upload, and two Post → Create steps share the video link to LinkedIn and X.
AI-written caption as a draft for approval
A form supplies the topic, an AI model writes the caption, and Draft → Create saves it so a teammate checks it before Draft → Convert to Post schedules it.
Alert the team when a post fails
The Trigger node listens for Post Failed, and a Slack node posts the details to a channel so someone can fix the post and retry it.
Your data is safe
Your API key is stored as an n8n credential and sent only to the Social media studio API. A key acts on one workspace, and a workspace owner can revoke it at any time from Settings → API. Deliveries to the Trigger node are signed, so forged requests are rejected.
