How this API workflow works

Best for CMS workflows, approvals, content calendars, and queue-based publishing.

  1. Create or copy a Postly API key.
  2. Resolve the organization, workspace, and connected target accounts.
  3. Build the request using the pattern below and destination-specific values.
  4. Create the post, then inspect its scheduled or publishing status.

Example request

{
  "text": "Scheduled post",
  "workspace": "WORKSPACE_ID",
  "target_platforms": [
    {
      "identifier": "facebook",
      "id": "SOCIAL_ID"
    }
  ],
  "one_off_schedule": {
    "one_off_date": "2026-12-31",
    "time": "2026-12-31T17:00:00.000Z",
    "timezone": "America/New_York"
  }
}

Build the complete workflow

Pair the REST API with Postly MCP agents, AI-assisted content creation, approvals, and the canonical social media scheduler.
