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

 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.
