How It Works

Find Your LinkedIn Integration

postiz integrations:list | jq \
  '.[] | select(.identifier=="linkedin")'

Upload Your Media

Upload images for your carousel or single-image posts. Each upload returns a public URL that you can pass to the post creation command.

Upload

# Upload images and extract URLs
SLIDE1=$(postiz upload slide1.png | jq -r '.path')
SLIDE2=$(postiz upload slide2.png | jq -r '.path')

echo $SLIDE1
# https://uploads.postiz.com/slide1.png

What is Grok Bot?

Grok Bot is the always-on AI teammate product from xAI and Cursor. You create named Bots, give each one a job, and they work 24/7 on their own persistent cloud computer — with a browser, a filesystem, and a terminal — pinging you only when they need approval.

Grok Bot is not the Grok chatbot. Grok is the assistant you chat with on X and grok.com. Grok Bot is a separate app for delegating real, multi-step work — like running your LinkedIn presence with Postiz.

💻

Own Cloud Computer

Every Bot gets a persistent cloud machine with a terminal. Postiz runs there, so your LinkedIn posts go out even when your laptop is closed.

🔁

Routines

Turn any task into a routine that runs on a schedule. Your Bot drafts, schedules, and reports on LinkedIn content without being asked twice.

🛡️

Approvals Built In

Bots ask before changing external systems. Review the LinkedIn posts your Bot prepared in Postiz, approve, and it publishes.

How Postiz Works with Grok Bot

Postiz is listed on the Grok Bot plugin marketplace. Add it to a Bot and the Postiz skill, CLI, and command reference are installed on its cloud computer — the Bot can then manage your LinkedIn workflow on its own.

✓Type /add-plugin postiz in a Bot chat, or add it from the Plugins sidebar
✓Store your POSTIZ_API_KEY as a Bot secret when prompted
✓The Bot reads the bundled SKILL.md and learns every Postiz command
✓Works in every Bot on your shared workspace, on desktop and iPhone
✓Approvals keep a human in the loop before anything is published

Grok Bot

# 1. Add the plugin to your Bot
/add-plugin postiz

# 2. Store your Postiz API key
#    as a secret when prompted

# 3. Ask your Bot to verify
You: Find my LinkedIn channel in Postiz

Bot: Running postiz integrations:list
  Found your LinkedIn integration.
  All Postiz commands are ready.

LinkedIn Posting with Grok Bot

Your Bot reads the Postiz skill, discovers your LinkedIn integration, and handles the entire posting workflow — from content creation to scheduling — on its own cloud computer.

🧠

Message Your Bot

Desktop, iPhone, or a group chat

Send a message to your Bot from the desktop app or your iPhone. It runs on its own cloud computer, so it picks up your message, discovers your LinkedIn account via Postiz, uploads your media, and schedules the post — then asks you to approve before it goes live.

Grok Bot

You: Post to LinkedIn about our new
  feature launch, schedule for tomorrow
  at 9am

Bot: Got it! Here's the plan:
  1. Find your LinkedIn integration
  2. Compose your post content
  3. Schedule for tomorrow 9:00 AM

  Done! Post scheduled successfully.
  Post ID: abc-123

🧠

Routines

Recurring work on a schedule

Save the task as a routine. Your Bot runs it on a schedule from the cloud, checks for new content, and posts it to LinkedIn automatically — no manual trigger needed.

Grok Bot routine

Routine: daily-linkedin-posts
Schedule: Weekdays at 9:00 AM

Instructions:
  Check ~/content/posts on your cloud
  computer for new .txt files. For
  each one, read the content and
  schedule a post to LinkedIn for
  today at noon via Postiz. Move
  posted files to ~/content/published
  and send me a summary.

Why Grok Bot + Postiz for LinkedIn

✓Official plugin — one command install from the marketplace
✓Always on — posts to LinkedIn from the cloud while you are away
✓Terminal access runs Postiz commands directly on the Bot's computer
✓Routines for hands-free daily posting
✓Cross-post to LinkedIn + other platforms in a single conversation
✓Approvals keep a human in the loop before publishing

Also Works with Claude Code

Postiz Agent works as a CLI tool with any AI agent that can execute shell commands — including Anthropic's Claude Code.

Claude Code

by Anthropic

Claude reads the SKILL.md file to learn all available Postiz commands, then autonomously discovers your LinkedIn integration, uploads your images, creates a carousel if needed, and schedules the post.

Claude Code

> Create a LinkedIn carousel from my
  slide deck images, schedule for
  tomorrow morning

Claude will automatically run:
  postiz integrations:list
  postiz upload ./slide1.png
  postiz upload ./slide2.png
  postiz upload ./slide3.png
  postiz posts:create \
    -c "Key takeaways from Q1..." \
    -m "slide1-url" -m "slide2-url" \
    -m "slide3-url" \
    -s "2025-03-02T09:00:00Z" \
    --settings '{"post_as_images_carousel":
      true,"carousel_name":
      "Q1 Takeaways"}' \
    -i "linkedin-id"

LinkedIn + Other Platforms

Schedule the same content to LinkedIn and other platforms in a single command. Each platform gets its own settings.

Terminal

# Post to LinkedIn and X simultaneously
postiz posts:create \
  -c "Excited to announce our new feature! Check it out." \
  -s "2025-03-01T09:00:00Z" \
  --settings '{}' \
  -i "linkedin-id,x-id"

# Batch schedule a week of LinkedIn content
for day in 1 2 3 4 5; do
  postiz posts:create \
    -c "Day $day insight! #leadership #growth" \
    -s "2025-03-0${day}T08:00:00Z" \
    --settings '{}' \
    -i "linkedin-id"
