hootsuite_skill

Overview

This skill integrates with Hootsuite to manage users, teams, social profiles, messages, and media through pre-built actions. It uses Membrane as the runtime for authentication, request proxying, and action execution so you can focus on orchestration rather than auth. The skill exposes common operations like listing organizations, scheduling messages, and creating media upload URLs.

How this skill works

The skill calls Membrane CLI or API actions that wrap Hootsuite endpoints. Membrane handles authentication, credential refresh, pagination, and error handling; you run actions by providing a connectionId and actionId with the required JSON input. When needed, the skill can proxy raw HTTP requests through Membrane to reach any Hootsuite endpoint while preserving secure auth handling.

When to use it

• Schedule, approve, reject, or delete social messages programmatically
• List and manage social profiles and organization members
• Upload media and generate pre-signed upload URLs for posts
• Inspect or audit scheduled/sent messages over a time range
• Perform custom API calls when built-in actions don’t cover a use case

Best practices

• Always create and reuse a Membrane connection; never ask users for raw API keys or tokens
• Search Membrane actions before building custom calls to reuse pre-built, paginated handlers
• Prefer action run flows for standard tasks; use proxy requests only for unsupported endpoints
• Pass structured JSON inputs to actions to reduce errors and make results predictable
• Handle pagination and rate limits by using Membrane’s built-in pagination controls where available

Example use cases

• Automate a recurring campaign by scheduling messages across multiple profiles with media uploaded via pre-signed URLs
• Build an approval workflow that lists messages pending approval and lets managers approve/reject from a dashboard
• Sync organization members and social profiles into an internal directory for access control and analytics
• Run ad-hoc queries or reports by proxying custom Hootsuite API requests through Membrane for fields not exposed by actions
