Streamline Your Social Media Strategy with Automated X Posts & Polls using Webhooks in n8n

Efficiently manage your social media presence by automating your X-platform interactions with this powerful workflow. Seamlessly receive webhook requests from your content calendar and leverage X API v2 to publish dynamic text posts, interactive polls, media-rich threads, and manage existing posts effortlessly. Say goodbye to manual updates and hello to intelligent automation!

What this workflow does

• Receives a POST webhook request containing request type and payload data from your scheduling calendar.
• Routes requests by `body.type`, facilitating tasks such as creating X posts, publishing threads, deleting posts, performing X credential tests, or handling unknown-type errors gracefully.
• Validates payloads for single posts, ensuring no invalid polls or mixed-media posts occur, and shares text, poll, or media posts appropriately.
• Manages media uploads by processing base64-encoded images/videos through X's INIT/APPEND/FINALIZE endpoints, waiting for completion before publication.
• Efficiently posts threads by creating well-structured tweet chains, providing easy-to-follow lists of tweet IDs and URLs.
• Executes delete requests and connection tests via X’s delete-tweet endpoint or `GET /2/users/me`, supplying structured JSON responses with success or error codes.
• Sends a standardized JSON response, conveying success and providing IDs/URLs or error messages as necessary.
