Publish image & video to multiple social media (X, Instagram, Facebook and more)

Description

This Workflow streamlines the process of publishing posts (image or video) to multiple social media platforms using a unified form and a third-party API service called Upload-Post. The automation starts with a form trigger, allowing users to submit content (text and media) through a simple frontend interface. Users select the platform (Instagram, LinkedIn, Facebook, X, TikTok, Threads), choose the profile name, write a caption, and upload a photo or video. How It Works Automates cross-platform social media posting via Upload-Post, handling both images (JPEG) and videos (MP4). Here’s the process: Trigger**: A form submission captures user inputs: Platform (Instagram, LinkedIn, Facebook, X, TikTok, Threads). Account (pre-configured profile name). Caption and file (image/video). Optional Facebook Page ID for targeted posting. Routing**: The "Video or Photo?" Switch node checks the file’s MIME type: Image: Routes to the "Post photo" HTTP node (uploads via upload_photos API). Video: Routes to the "Post video" HTTP node (uploads via upload API). API Integration**: Both nodes send data to Upload-Post.com’s API, including: Caption, account name, platform, and file binary. Facebook ID (if provided). Success/Failure Handling**: The "Result Photo/Video" nodes parse the API response. Setup Steps Prerequisites: Upload-Post.com API Key**: Get it from the API Keys dashboard. Free tier allows 10 uploads/month. Configuration: API Authentication: In the HTTP Request nodes (Post photo/Post video), set the Authorization header: Name: Authorization Value: Apikey YOUR_API_KEY_HERE. Form Customization: Adjust the "On form submission" node to: Add/remove platforms (e.g., YouTube when approved). Modify file type restrictions (default: .jpg, .mp4). Account Mapping: Ensure the "Account" field matches profiles configured in Upload-Post.com (e.g., test1, test2). Facebook Page Integration: Optional: Add a Facebook Page ID field for page-specific posts. Testing: Submit test forms with images/videos. Verify API responses and success/failure messages. Optional Enhancements: Add error logging (e.g., save failed attempts to a database). Extend to YouTube once API support is confirmed. Key Features: Multi-Platform**: Post to 6+ social networks simultaneously. User-Friendly**: Simple form interface for non-technical users. Error Handling**: Clear feedback for success/failure cases.
