Overview
We're excited to introduce the new N8N community node for our Late API, which allows you to automate your social media posting without needing to dig into the API directly. You can now schedule and publish posts with just a few clicks – no tech wizardry required.
What's New
This new node lets you create and publish posts right from your N8N instance. If you're running N8N locally, you can already start using it. Just remember, we’re in the process of getting it verified, so it’ll be officially recognized soon. This means you can leverage all the actions available in our API without having to deal with the usual API calls. It's like getting a backstage pass to the social media posting concert!
When you create a test workflow, you can easily add our Late node, fill in your API credentials, and start crafting your posts. You can even test it out live – if it works, you get to see your post go live without all the fuss. And yes, you can ignore the scheduled time if you're feeling spontaneous and just want to hit publish now.
Key Improvements
- New N8N community node for easy social media automation.
- Ability to create and publish posts without direct API calls.
- Supports listing social accounts to streamline the posting process.
- Local testing available for users running N8N on their machines.
How to Use It
To use the new node, simply search for 'Late' in your N8N dashboard after installing the node. You can create a post by filling in the required fields like content and target platforms. If you need account IDs, you can list your social accounts directly from the node – no more manual copy-pasting of IDs. Just imagine how much time you’ll save!
Once you’ve got everything set up, run the workflow, and voilà! Your post goes live. It’s as easy as that. So grab a coffee, kick back, and let automation do the heavy lifting.
