In this tutorial, I’ll show you step-by-step how to connect the open source workflow automation tool n8n to the decentralized social network Mastodon. With n8n, you can create custom automations to post toots, interact with your Mastodon timeline, and integrate Mastodon with hundreds of other apps and services.
We’ll cover:
- Setting up a new Mastodon account and generating API access tokens
- Installing n8n and creating your first workflow
- Using the HTTP Request node in n8n to make authenticated API calls to Mastodon
- Configuring n8n to automatically post to Mastodon
Whether you’re an individual looking to automate your Mastodon experience or a business wanting to integrate Mastodon into your processes, this tutorial will give you the foundation to build powerful automations with n8n and Mastodon. No coding required!
