n8n-nodes-chat33

n8n community node for Chat33 — schedule and publish posts to Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, X and Facebook from your n8n workflows.

Installation

In n8n: Settings → Community Nodes → Install → n8n-nodes-chat33.

Credentials

Create an API key in Chat33 → Settings → API Keys and paste it into the Chat33 API credential. Scopes needed: accounts:read, posts:read, posts:write, media:write.

Resources & Operations

| Resource | Operations | |----------|-----------| | Account | Get Many (channel list — powers the account dropdowns) | | Post | Create, Validate, Get, Get Many, Delete, Duplicate, Get Logs | | Media | Upload (binary file or public URL) |

Supported platforms: Instagram, Facebook, TikTok, YouTube, X, LinkedIn.

Media size limits

| Input type | Ceiling | How it works | |------------|---------|--------------| | Binary File | 500 MB | The node requests a presigned URL and uploads the bytes straight to storage, so the Chat33 API is never in the data path. | | URL | 4 GB | Chat33 streams the file from your public URL. |

For files over 500 MB, host the file somewhere publicly reachable and use the URL input type.

Typical workflow

1. Media → Upload the image/video produced earlier in the workflow.
2. Post → Create: pick accounts from the dropdown, set text, paste the uploaded URL, optionally schedule.
3. Poll Post → Get or set a callbackUrl to get publish status.

Wait for Delivery

Post → Create normally returns as soon as the post is queued — it goes live a minute or two later via Chat33's publisher. Turn on Wait for Delivery and the node polls until the post is actually live, then returns it with the final externalPostUrl, ready for the next step in your workflow.

• Multi-account posts wait for every account. A failure on one account doesn't fail the node: each post returns its own status (PUBLISHED / FAILED + error message), so you can branch per platform with an IF node.
• Scheduled posts skip the wait — a post queued for next month can't go live inside this run, so it's returned as QUEUED immediately.
• On timeout (default 5 minutes, configurable) still-publishing posts come back in their current state rather than as an error — TikTok occasionally takes up to an hour. Pair with a callbackUrl if you need a guaranteed notification.

Platform settings

The account dropdown stores channel IDs, so the node cannot tell which platforms you picked. Tick them under Configure Platform Settings and only those collections appear.

Every platform Chat33 accepts settings for has a collection here, so nothing needs hand-written JSON:

• YouTube — tick it on every YouTube post. YouTube/FTC mandates the Made for Kids declaration and Chat33 rejects an upload without it. Privacy defaults to public, so set Privacy if you want unlisted or private. Scheduled posts ignore it: they upload as private and YouTube flips them at the scheduled time. Also carries title, description, tags, category and subscriber notification.
• TikTok — leave it unticked and the video lands in your TikTok drafts rather than publishing. Set Publish Mode to Direct Post to publish, which also requires a Privacy Level. Options you don't set are left alone, so comments, duets and stitches stay enabled unless you turn them off.
• Instagram — First Comment is posted right after publishing, which is where hashtags usually go so they stay out of the caption.
• X — Post as Thread splits the text on a separator and chains each chunk as a reply, plus reply permissions.
• LinkedIn — visibility and article card fields; everything you leave blank keeps the server-side default.
• Facebook — caption override.

Each collection also has a Caption field that overrides the shared text for that platform alone, so one node can send a different message to each network.

Anything not covered by the typed collections still goes in Additional Options → Platform Config (JSON) — full schema at https://chat33.io/api/v1/openapi.
