RSS feed to Typefully API via n8n

I use Typefully as the only social media tool for scheduling content for X (Twitter), Threads, Mastodon, Bluesky, and LinkedIn at once. And I used their launched v2 API to automate the publishing of my blog posts to Threads, Mastodon, and Bluesky via a simple n8n workflow.

As you can see the screenshot of n8n workflow in this post on X, here, I will explain the Typefully POST node that you see here. First, I selected an HTTP node in n8n and below are the different fields' data I have:

HTTP Node Fields Value
Method POST
URL https://api.typefully.com/v2/social-sets/{social_set_id}/drafts
Authentication Generic Credential Type
Generic Auth Type Header Auth
Header Auth Header Auth Account (Name: Authorization, Value: Typefully API Key), Nothing else changes
Send Query Parameters OFF
Send Headers OFF
Send Body ON
Body Content Type JSON
Specify Body Using JSON
JSON JSON provided below
Options No properties

I needed to replace {social_set_id} with my actual social set ID, and then it was done. Also, here's the body JSON in the HTTP node.

{
  "platforms": {
    "mastodon": {
      "enabled": true,
      "posts": [
        {
          "text": "🎉 New post: ARTICLE_TITLE ARTICLE_LINK"
        }
      ]
    },
    "threads": {
      "enabled": true,
      "posts": [
        {
          "text": "🎉 New post: ARTICLE_TITLE ARTICLE_LINK"
        }
      ]
    },
    "bluesky": {
      "enabled": true,
      "posts": [
        {
          "text": "🎉 New post: ARTICLE_TITLE ARTICLE_LINK"
        }
      ]
    }
  },
  "draft_title": "SOMETHING_HERE",
  "share": false,
  "publish_at": "now"
}

It's very simple and straightforward, and it just works as expected. As soon as a blog post goes live on my site, the n8n workflow executes and the article's link gets published on Threads, Mastodon, and Bluesky.

And the reason I don't publish these on X and LinkedIn is because I use these two platforms a bit differently.

Some links here are affiliate or referral links. Buying through them supports this site at no extra cost to you, and it doesn't affect my opinions.
