Getting Started: How to Install and Configure the Postiz Node in n8n
Let’s connect these two powerful tools. The integration is made possible by a community-built node called n8n-nodes-postiz. This package adds a dedicated Postiz node to your n8n workspace, making it as easy to use as any native integration.
Step 1: Install the Community Node
First, you need to install the node. The process is straightforward and can be done directly from your n8n dashboard.
- Navigate to Settings > Community Nodes.
- Click the Install button.
- Search for the official package name:
n8n-nodes-postiz. - Click Install next to the correct node.
After installation, you must restart your n8n instance for the new node to appear in your workflow editor. For version history or other details, you can always refer to the official n8n community node page.
This page is a valuable resource for confirming you have the right package and provides the installation command if you ever need a quick reference.
Step 2: Set Up Your Postiz API Credentials
With the node installed, the next critical step is authentication. Your n8n workflow needs credentials to prove it has permission to send messages through your Postiz account. This is handled using an API key from Postiz.
Follow these steps to get your key:
- Log in to your Postiz account.
- Navigate to the API Tokens section in your account settings.
- Copy the Api Key.
Security Best Practice: Treat this API key like a password. Store it securely in a password manager and never expose it in public repositories or client-side code.
Now, return to n8n. Go to the Credentials section and click Add Credential. Search for “Postiz API,” select it, and paste your key into the designated field.
Once saved, the connection is complete. Any time you add a Postiz node to a workflow, you can simply select these saved credentials from the dropdown menu. You are now ready to use Postiz with n8n and automate your team notifications.
