Turn an API response into a post

Open More → Workflows → Start from a template. Use Turn an API response into a post for updates from a service without a dedicated node.

1. If the API needs authentication, save its credential in Connections, restricted to the API's exact HTTPS host.
2. Open HTTP request, enter the URL, and select that connection. Start with a read-only GET. You can also import a cURL command, then review the parsed method, URL, headers, and body.
3. Select Test node to inspect the real response. Choose JSON or Table to find the fields you need.
4. Open JavaScript to format the selected response data. The supplied script only formats the JSON; it does not write finished social copy for you. Keep its output connected to Create draft → Post text.
5. Choose destination accounts in Create draft, and keep Review post afterward.
6. Run a preview. This template starts manually; Run live creates the draft. Change the trigger to an interval if you want recurring checks.

JavaScript receives input and returns a JSON value. For an API response such as {"title":"New reporting view","url":"https://example.com/updates/reporting"}, this creates a short announcement:

return `${input.title}\n\n${input.url}`;

HTTP node tests send real requests. Do not test a write method unless you intend its effect. Keep secrets in Connections, and inspect an interrupted request's remote outcome before trying again.
