To use this node, you need to have a Metricool account with API access (Advanced Tier) and obtain your API credentials:
1. Sign up for a Metricool account at metricool.com
2. Upgrade to the Advanced Tier to get API access
3. Get your User Token and User ID from the API section in your account settings
This node has been tested with n8n version 1.0.0 and later.
This node supports advanced multi-platform, multi-format scheduling using a "Vertical Slicing" algorithm. This allows you to schedule different content types across multiple platforms in a single workflow execution.
How it works:
- Select multiple post types for Instagram (Feed, Reel, Story)
- Select multiple post types for Facebook (Feed, Reel, Story)
- Select multiple post types for YouTube (Video, Short)
- The node automatically groups the 1st selection of each platform together, 2nd selections together, etc.
Example:
If you select:
- Instagram: Feed, Reel, Story
- Facebook: Feed, Reel
- YouTube: Video
The node will create 3 separate scheduled posts:
1. Instagram Feed + Facebook Feed + YouTube Video
2. Instagram Reel + Facebook Reel
3. Instagram Story
This optimizes API calls while ensuring each content type is scheduled correctly.
When scheduling Instagram Reels, you have the option to Show Reel on Feed, which makes the Reel visible in your main Instagram grid in addition to the Reels tab.
