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

What is OpenClaw?

OpenClaw is the open-source personal AI agent with 145k+ GitHub stars. It runs locally on your machine, connects through apps you already use, and takes real actions on your behalf.

💬

Works Where You Are

Message OpenClaw from WhatsApp, Telegram, Slack, Discord, Signal, iMessage, or 10+ other platforms. No new app to learn.

🧩

Skill-Based Architecture

OpenClaw extends its abilities through Skills — lightweight plugins defined in Markdown files. Postiz is available as a skill on ClawHub.

⏰

Proactive Automation

Schedule recurring tasks with cron jobs. OpenClaw can post your LinkedIn content on a schedule without you having to ask each time.

How Postiz Becomes an OpenClaw Skill

When you install Postiz Agent globally, OpenClaw automatically discovers it by reading the bundled SKILL.md file. This file tells OpenClaw what commands are available, what environment variables are needed, and how to compose LinkedIn posts with the right settings.

✓Install from ClawHub with one command: clawhub install nevo-david/postiz
✓OpenClaw reads the SKILL.md and learns all Postiz commands
✓Eligibility is checked automatically — POSTIZ_API_KEY must be set
✓Skills are loaded on-demand, keeping the agent context clean
✓Works with any LLM backend: Claude, GPT, Gemini, Llama, and more

Install from ClawHub

# Install the Postiz skill
clawhub install nevo-david/postiz

# Or install the CLI globally
npm install -g postiz

# Set your API key
export POSTIZ_API_KEY=your_api_key

# Verify OpenClaw sees it
openclaw skills list --eligible

# Output:
# - postiz: Social media automation
#   CLI for scheduling posts
#   across 30+ platforms

LinkedIn Posting with OpenClaw

Message OpenClaw from any platform — it reads the Postiz skill, discovers your LinkedIn integration, and handles the entire posting workflow autonomously.

🦀

From Any Chat App

WhatsApp, Telegram, Slack, Discord...

Send a message to OpenClaw from your favorite chat app. It runs as a persistent daemon on your machine, so it picks up your message, discovers your LinkedIn account via Postiz, uploads your images, and schedules the post — all while you go about your day.

WhatsApp / Telegram

You: Post a carousel on LinkedIn with
  the 3 slides in ~/decks/q1/ and
  schedule for tomorrow at 9am

OpenClaw: Got it! Here's what I'll do:
  1. Upload 3 slides from ~/decks/q1/
  2. Schedule for 2025-03-02T09:00:00Z
  3. Settings: carousel with name "Q1"

  Done! Your LinkedIn carousel is scheduled.

Scheduled & Proactive

Cron jobs for recurring content

OpenClaw supports cron-based heartbeat tasks. Set up a recurring job that checks for new content and posts it to LinkedIn automatically — no manual trigger needed.

openclaw.json (heartbeat)

{
  "heartbeat": [
    {
      "cron": "0 8 * * 1-5",
      "prompt": "Check ~/content/linkedin
  for new .md files. For each one,
  read the content and schedule a
  LinkedIn post for today at noon.
  If there are images, create a
  carousel. Move posted files
  to ~/content/posted."
    }
  ]
}

Why OpenClaw + Postiz for LinkedIn

OpenClaw's skill system makes Postiz a natural fit. The agent reads the SKILL.md to understand every available command, then autonomously chains them together for LinkedIn workflows.

✓Message from WhatsApp to post on LinkedIn — no terminal needed
✓Cron jobs for hands-free daily posting schedules
✓Structured JSON output lets OpenClaw verify each step succeeded
✓Carousel creation handled automatically with multiple image uploads
✓Cross-post to LinkedIn + other platforms in a single conversation
✓Model-agnostic — works with Claude, GPT, Gemini, or open-source LLMs

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"
