Can n8n post to Instagram?

Yes. One HTTP node against the xpost API creates the post for your Instagram account. It is published at the time you set, and each account gets its own receipt with the live link.

Does this work with Zapier and Make too?

Yes. Any tool that can call a web address can post through the xpost API. The same key and the same reference.

Can the workflow publish without me?

Yes — that is what an automation is for, and you are told about every post it makes. Switch approvals on and a post created with a key waits in your queue instead; no key can approve one.

Does the API cost extra?

No. The API is included in every xpost plan, with no extra fee and no usage meter.

Post to social media from n8n.

Set up xpost in n8n

Three steps, about two minutes. Create one API key and you're ready to go.

API reference

1
Create an API key
In xpost open Project → AI agent → Keys and create a key. Give it a name, so you can see what it did.
2
Add an HTTP node
In n8n add an HTTP Request node, set the address from the API reference, and put the key in the Authorization header.
3
Send the post
Send the text, the accounts and the time. The post goes out at the time you set, and each account gets its own receipt with the live link.

What you can do with n8n

Everything xpost does, from inside your workflow.

Create posts from any trigger

A new blog post, a form, a spreadsheet row — anything n8n can watch can become a post.

Add pictures and video

Send a web address for a picture or a clip, or upload the file, and it goes with the post.

Hold posts for a person

Turn approvals on and every post the workflow creates waits in your queue until someone says yes.

Read the receipts

Read where a post landed, account by account, with the links — and send it on to Slack or a sheet.

Post many at once

Send a list and every post is created in one call — and you see every one.

You see every post it makes

Every post n8n creates shows up in xpost, with a link when it goes live. Turn on approvals and posts wait for your review instead.

Use xpost with your other tools

xpost also works with Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor and other AI tools.
