n8n Integration Guide

Wire any n8n trigger into Instagram, YouTube, TikTok, LinkedIn, X, Facebook, Threads, Pinterest, Reddit and Bluesky using the official IndReelForge community node — a native n8n block with 16 built-in actions, full credential management, and no HTTP Request configuration needed.

Install the Native Node (Recommended)

The easiest and most reliable way to use IndReelForge in n8n.

Install

1. In n8n go to Settings → Community Nodes → Install
2. Enter: n8n-nodes-indreelforge
3. Click Install — the IndReelForge node appears in the node picker immediately (search "IndReelForge")

Works on n8n cloud and every self-hosted instance. No environment variables or npm installs required.

Set up credentials

1. Open any IndReelForge node → Credential → Create New
2. Paste your API key (Dashboard → API Keys → New Key — 2FA required)
3. Click Save — credentials are reused across all IndReelForge nodes in your workspace and never appear in exported workflow JSON

Prerequisites

Before building your workflow, set up your IndReelForge account:

Step	What to do
1. Create a profile	Dashboard → Profiles → New Profile. The profile name is what you select in the n8n node.
2. Connect your accounts	Open the profile and click Connect next to each social network and complete OAuth.
3. Generate an API key	Dashboard → API Keys → New Key (2FA must be enabled). Copy it once.

---

Example: Upload a video

1. Add a trigger (Schedule, Google Drive, Webhook, etc.)
2. Connect any node that produces a file or URL
3. Add an IndReelForge node → action: Upload a video
4. Select your credential, profile, and target platforms
5. Map the binary data or paste a video_url
6. Execute

Upload by URL (no binary wiring)

For files larger than a few MB, use video_url instead of binary data. IndReelForge fetches the file server-side — faster and avoids n8n memory limits.

---

Auto-schedule with the Queue

Select Edit a scheduled post or pass schedule_at (ISO 8601 timestamp) on any upload action to queue the post for later publishing. Configure available time slots in Dashboard → Profiles → Queue Settings.

---

Receive Completion Webhooks

Instead of polling, register an n8n Webhook node as your callback:

1. Add a Webhook node at the start of a new workflow and copy its URL.
2. Register it with IndReelForge:

curl -X POST https://api.indreelforge.com/api/webhooks/config \
  -H 'Authorization: Apikey YOUR_KEY' \
  -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
  -d '{
    "channels": { "webhook": true },
    "webhook_url": "https://your-n8n-instance.com/webhook/xyz"
  }'

IndReelForge POSTs this payload when each upload finishes:

{
  "event": "upload.completed",
  "upload_id": "upl_abc123",
  "status": "completed",
  "platforms": ["instagram", "tiktok"],
  "platform_post_ids": {
    "instagram": "insta_post_abc",
    "tiktok": "tt_post_xyz"
  },
  "completed_at": "2026-04-07T10:30:00.000Z"
}

Google Drive (new file) → IndReelForge (Upload a video) → IF (success?) → Slack notification

1. Google Drive Trigger — watch a folder for new files
2. IndReelForge (Upload a video) — select platforms, map the Drive file
3. IF Node — branch on {{ $json.success }}
4. Slack — send "Posted to Instagram & TikTok ✓"

RSS Feed Auto-Poster

2. Set — build the caption from {{ $json.title }}
3. IndReelForge (Post text) — select platforms, map the caption

Notion Content Calendar

Cron (daily 9am) → Notion (query published=false) → IndReelForge (Upload a video) → Notion (mark published)

1. Cron — runs every morning
2. Notion — query database for rows where Published = false
3. IndReelForge (Upload a video) — map video URL + platforms from Notion properties
4. Notion — set Published = true, write upload_id back

AI-generated Caption Publisher

Google Drive Trigger → OpenAI (transcribe) → OpenAI (generate caption) → IndReelForge (Upload a video)

Transcribes the video with Whisper, generates a platform-tuned caption with GPT, then publishes to all platforms in one node.

Fallback — HTTP Request Node

If you prefer the raw HTTP Request node, the API is fully accessible:

Field	Value
Method	POST
URL	https://api.indreelforge.com/api/upload
Authentication	Header Auth
Header Name	Authorization
Header Value	Apikey YOUR_API_KEY
Body Content Type	Multipart Form Data

Body fields

Name	Type	Value
user	String	Your profile name
title	String	Caption / title
platform[]	String	instagram (repeat per network)
video	Binary	Binary from previous node

Other endpoints:

Action	Method	URL
Upload photo carousel	POST	/api/upload_photos
Post text only	POST	/api/upload_text
Check upload status	GET	/api/uploadposts/status?request_id=ID
List scheduled posts	GET	/api/schedule
Cancel scheduled post	DELETE	/api/schedule/JOB_ID
Analytics	GET	/api/analytics/live/PROFILE?platforms=instagram,tiktok

Tips

• Use Split In Batches to process lists of videos one at a time.
• Use schedule_at or add_to_queue=true to auto-space bulk uploads — no manual scheduling.
• Use request_id to attach your own identifier for tracking in downstream nodes.
• Store your API key in IndReelForge credentials (native node) or n8n Credentials → Header Auth (HTTP Request) so it never appears in exported workflow JSON.
