N8N Integration

This guide explains how to integrate Multi Upload Tool with n8n to automate your social media workflows.

Community Node (Recommended)

The easiest way to use Multi Upload Tool in n8n is via the official community node, which provides a native n8n integration with no code required.

Install

In your n8n instance, go to Settings → Community nodes and install:


n8n-nodes-multi-upload-tool

Upload	Create, Bulk Create, Get, Get Many, Update

Authentication

Create a Multi Upload Tool API credential in n8n with your API token (found in Settings → API Keys in your dashboard). The token is sent as an x-api-key header.

HTTP Request Node (Advanced)

If you prefer to use the generic HTTP Request node instead of the community node, follow the instructions below.

Prerequisites

Your API Token (x-api-key header).
The accountId of the destination account (use the List Accounts endpoint or find it in Manage Users ).
A binary file in your n8n workflow (e.g., from a “Read Binary File” node or an HTTP download).

Node Configuration

Method: POST
URL: https://api.multi-upload-tool.com/api/v1/upload
Authentication: Select Generic Credential Type → Header Auth.
- Create a credential with Name: x-api-key and Value: YOUR_API_TOKEN.

Body Content Type: Multipart-form-data.
Send Binary Data: Toggle to true.
- Input Binary Field: data (or the name of your binary property).
- Form Field Name: video for videos, photo for images.
Body Parameters:
- accountId: Your connected account ID (platform is detected automatically).

Common Issues

File Size: Ensure your n8n instance allows the file size you are trying to upload.
Timeout: Large files might take time to upload. Increase the timeout in the HTTP Request node settings if necessary.
Binary Property: Make sure the “Input Binary Field” matches the property name where the file is stored in the previous node (default is usually data).
