Step-by-step examples: list channels, create drafts, schedule with media.

These examples use a Manual Trigger so you can click Execute while learning. Swap it for a Schedule, Webhook, or other trigger when you go live.

Example A — List channels

Manual Trigger → Socioi
Resource: Channel · Operation: Get Many
Select your Socioi API credential
Execute step

Copy a channel id from the output — you need it for posts.

Optional: add a second Socioi node with Channel → Get Quota to see plan limits.

Example B — Create a draft

Keep Example A, or paste a known channel ID
Add another Socioi node (or reuse one):

Field	Value
Resource	Post
Operation	Create
Type	Draft
Content	Your caption
Channel IDs	Comma-separated IDs (e.g. `clx_abc`)
Media IDs	Leave empty for text-only

Execute — response includes the post id
Open https://socioi.com — the draft appears in your calendar / drafts

Drafts never publish until you schedule or change type to Now in Socioi or via the API.

Example C — Schedule a post with an image

Socioi → Resource Media · Operation Upload From URL
- URL: a publicly reachable image (https://…/photo.jpg)
- Execute → copy the media id
Socioi → Resource Channel · Get Many → copy channel id
Socioi → Resource Post · Create:

Field	Value
Type	Schedule
Content	Caption
Channel IDs	Channel id(s)
Date	UTC date/time (n8n date-time picker)
Media IDs	Media id from step 1

Execute — status should be scheduled; the worker publishes when date is due

Example D — Publish now

Same as create, but Type = Now. The post is queued for publishing immediately (subject to provider limits and connected channels).

Chaining tips

Use expressions to pass IDs: e.g. Channel Get Many output → {{ $json.id }} (adjust to your item shape)
For multiple channels, join IDs with commas
Prefer Draft while testing; switch to Schedule / Now when ready
Failures return API errors — see Errors & limits
