AutoTweet + n8n
Self-hosted automation with AutoTweet as a node — for technical teams.

What you can do
Self-hosted automation
Teams that can't use SaaS automation (data sovereignty, compliance) run n8n on their infrastructure. AutoTweet's webhook integration plugs into n8n's HTTP node today.
Open-source stack alignment
Open-source-only stacks pair well with n8n. AutoTweet's documented webhook API is OSS-friendly even though AutoTweet itself is SaaS.
Custom enterprise workflows
n8n's code node lets you write custom JavaScript between triggers and AutoTweet's webhook. Useful for compliance scrubbing, PII masking, audit log injection before each tweet schedules.
Cheaper than Zapier at scale
n8n is free if self-hosted. For high-volume content automation (10k+ actions/mo), n8n's cost-per-action approaches zero. AutoTweet's webhook absorbs the request rate.
Setup
n8n's HTTP node: POST to AutoTweet's webhook endpoint with the standard payload. Native AutoTweet n8n node planned Q4 2026 — same UX as Zapier/Make integrations but inside n8n's editor.
Common questions
When will the native n8n integration ship?+
Q4 2026. n8n's community-node mechanism makes this faster to build than full marketplace integrations. We may ship a community node sooner if there's enough demand — let us know if your team needs this.
Can I run n8n + AutoTweet entirely on-premise?+
n8n yes, AutoTweet no (we're SaaS). The hybrid works: n8n on your infra handles the orchestration + your sensitive data; AutoTweet handles the X publishing + analytics. The webhook integration crosses the boundary cleanly.
How does the webhook authentication work with n8n?+
AutoTweet uses Bearer token auth. n8n's HTTP node has a 'Header Auth' option — set the value to 'Bearer <your_token>' and the requests authenticate. Token rotation is handled in AutoTweet's dashboard (Settings → Webhooks).
Are there rate limits I need to handle in n8n?+
Yes — 60 requests/minute per workspace, plus daily caps by plan tier (1,000 Starter, 5,000 Growth, unlimited Pro). n8n's HTTP node has built-in retry-on-error logic; set it to 3 retries with exponential backoff to handle transient rate-limit responses.
