bobagent-postiz_skill

Overview

This skill integrates with Postiz to schedule and manage social and chat posts across 28+ channels from a single API. It streamlines content distribution, media uploads, slot discovery, and post lifecycle operations like scheduling and deletion. Use it to automate multi-platform campaigns and maintain consistent publishing cadence.

How this skill works

The skill calls Postiz public API endpoints to list integrations, find the next available publishing slot for a channel, upload media (file or URL), retrieve scheduled posts, create new scheduled posts, and delete posts. Authentication is handled with an API key set in an environment variable. Payloads include per-channel settings and media references to deliver channel-specific post formats.

When to use it

• You need to publish the same message across many platforms with centralized scheduling.
• You want to manage media uploads once and reference them across posts.
• You need to discover the next available time slot for a specific channel before scheduling.
• You want to programmatically list, audit, or purge scheduled posts.
• You are automating recurring campaigns or coordinated multi-channel launches.

Best practices

• Store POSTIZ_API_KEY securely as an environment variable and rotate keys periodically.
• Query integrations first to obtain channel integration IDs required for scheduling posts.
• Upload or cache media ahead of scheduling and use returned media IDs to avoid re-uploading files.
• Validate channel-specific settings against Postiz documentation to avoid provider errors.
• Use startDate/endDate filters when listing posts to limit response sizes and simplify audits.

Example use cases

• Bulk-schedule a product announcement across X, LinkedIn, Threads, and Facebook Page with coordinated timestamps.
• Upload a product image once, reference its media ID in multiple channel posts, and schedule localized captions per channel.
• Find the next available slot on Instagram before scheduling a time-sensitive story or post.
• Automate a weekly newsletter conversion by posting excerpts to LinkedIn, Reddit, and Mastodon on a fixed cadence.
• Delete or reschedule posts programmatically when content needs updates or is time-sensitive.
