Substack node

Tips & Tricks
1

Hi folks! :waving_hand:

I built a custom node for integrating n8n with Substack. It supports:

  • Fetching publication and subscriber info
  • Fetching notes
  • Posting notes

If you’re using Substack and want to automate your publishing or audience workflows, I’d love your feedback. Contributions welcome!

Hey Jakub,

thank you very much for your job!!! I just installed your node….I’ll give it a try as soon as I finish my substack account :wink:

I definitively will give you a feedback

so…first feedback: I cant create my credentials :sweat_smile:

For the api key, I understand that it’s the connect.sid cookie correct? This cookie doesn’t exist in my console….
there is a substack.sid cookie…. didnt work too…. so I’m stuck and I need some help

Thanks for the feedback :smiley: I’m already struggling with this. Could you please let me know what operating system and web browser you’re using?

The cookie name is substack.sid, but the real problem is on Publication Address * in the credentials page, you have to set this up without HTTPS:// . Just “your-username.substack.com”

I am facing issue of 403 forbidden when creating a note. I have used the above substack.sid and used correct hostname

At first glance, there seems to be an issue with the Create Note function, which ends in a 403 error.

My connection is working properly because “Get Note” works perfectly.

Have you planned a fix? @jakub-k-slys

Thank you for creating this @jakub-k-slys

Anyone found an answer to the “HTTP 403: Forbidden” issue?

Using the “Create Note” node, and setting up the credentials as @alanfrigo suggested, the node seems to connect OK (Thank you for that!!!)

I even used BOTH substack.sid sessions; the one under “request Cookies” and the one under “Response Cookies”, which I believe is the one we should be using.

Every other Operation option in the node seems to work, except the “Create Note” operation.

Would love to know if and how anyone got around this?

Thanks!

I have not yet, gave up so vibe-coded my Chrome Extension. Will be launching in this month that adds much more feature than just n8n pipeline. The problem offered an opportunity to think in different way :smiley:
