🚀 What this workflow does
Automate publishing social media posts through the Swonkie Public API.
Given a media file URL, a caption, and a target profile, this workflow handles
the full end-to-end flow: uploading the media, creating the post, validating
it against platform rules, and publishing or scheduling it, all without
touching the Swonkie dashboard.
Use this as a starting point to connect Swonkie to any other tool in n8n:
trigger posts from a CMS, a spreadsheet, a form submission, an AI agent, or
any other data source.
⚙️ How it works
- Registers the media file in Swonkie's media library and uploads the binary
directly to Azure Blob Storage using a signed upload URL - Polls the media processing status every 3 seconds until Swonkie confirms
the file is ready (SUCCESS) or stops with an error if processing fails - Creates a new post with the uploaded media, caption, and target social profile
- Validates the post against Swonkie's network rules (caption length, media
format, profile connection) before publishing - Changes the post stage to publishNow (publishes immediately) or schedule
🛠️ Set up steps
- Sign up at swonkie.dev and connect at least one social media profile
- Go to app.swonkie.com/settings/workspace/public-api to get your App ID and
API Key - Get your Profile ID from the Swonkie API (GET /profiles) or the dashboard
- Open the Configure node and fill in: apiId, apiKey, profileId, caption,
stage, mediaUrl and mediaName - Run the workflow
