📱 Generate secure social media connection links for clients with Upload-Post

💡 Pro Tip — Since TikTok doesn’t have a public API, getting data usually means fragile HTTP scraping. ScraperNode is a community node that gives you clean JSON for TikTok profiles, videos, and comments — drop it into your workflow and skip the parsing.

Description

Captura de pantalla 20250916 a las 17.31.18.png This automated workflow template helps agencies and social media managers securely onboard clients by generating a branded Connect Accounts page where clients can link their social profiles without sharing passwords. The flow creates a user in Upload-Post and returns a one-hour magic link you can send to the client. Once connected, you can publish from the Upload-Post dashboard, via API, or from your own n8n automations using the created profile name.

Note: This workflow uses the Upload-Post.com API to create the user and generate a time-limited JWT connect link. You can brand the connect page with your logo via the logoImage parameter (and optionally brandName, redirectUrl, or allowedPlatforms).

Who Is This For?

• Marketing & Creative Agencies: Onboard new clients quickly and securely without requesting credentials.
• Social Media Managers & Freelancers: Standardize account connection across all clients in one simple step.
• SaaS & No-Code Builders: Offer a white-label “connect your socials” experience inside your tools and client portals.
• In-House Marketing Teams: Let internal stakeholders connect brand accounts without IT hand-offs.

Why This Matters

Collecting passwords is risky, slow, and non-compliant. Onboarding often means back-and-forth emails, shared logins, and manual setup. This template:

• Eliminates Password Sharing: Clients connect through secure OAuth flows.
• Reduces Friction: A single, short-lived link guides clients to connect supported platforms.
• Speeds Activation: As soon as accounts are linked, you can publish from the dashboard, API, or n8n.
• Builds Trust & Compliance: Brandable, auditable, and privacy-first onboarding.

How It Works

1. Trigger: Start the workflow in n8n.
2. Create User: The Create user node provisions a client user in Upload-Post (use a unique handle/slug).
3. Generate Connect Link: The Generate JWT for platform integration node returns a one-hour connect URL (plus metadata), brandable via logoImage.
4. Share With Client: Send the link via your preferred channel (Email/Telegram/Slack/CRM).
5. Client Connects Accounts: The client links their social profiles on the secure page—no passwords required.
6. Start Publishing: Post from https://app.upload-post.com/dashboard, the Upload-Post API, or your n8n flows referencing the created profile name.

Setup

1. Upload-Post Account & Credentials
   Create an account at upload-post.com and add your API credentials in n8n.
2. Configure Nodes
   • Create user: Set newUser to a unique identifier (e.g., client email/slug).
   • Generate JWT: Set user to the same identifier and (optionally) logoImage to a public logo URL. You can also pass brandName, redirectUrl, and allowedPlatforms.
3. Branding (Optional)
   Use a square transparent PNG for best results on the connect page.
4. Delivery (Optional)
   Add Email/Telegram/Slack nodes to automatically send the connect link to the client and log the action in your CRM.
