Integration with Mastodon

[Jan]

Hi there!

Did someone already connected Pabbly to Mastodon? I want to create posts on that social platform using Pabbly. There is no App for this yet but they offer a REST API with oauth authentification. Can this be used with the API app?

Hey @Jan

You may post the request to add the integration on the platform here - https://pabbly.hellonext.co/

Our integration team will look into it and add it accordingly.

Further, the API by Pabbly action step currently does not support OAuth authentication.

I added the feature request: https://pabbly.hellonext.co/p/connect-with-mastodon-social-network
And I upvoted the existing OAuth request: https://pabbly.hellonext.co/p/oauth-connector

Hi,

i found a way to publish Mastodon posts using the API function.

First log into your Mastodon account, open the profile and then the developer section.
Add a new app, call it "Pabbly Connect" and give it the rights you need - I just allowed "write:statuses" for security reasons.
Save the app and open it from the list to copy the access token.

Then using the following API settings in Pabbly Connect:

• Action Event: POST
• API endpoint URL: https://YOURHOST.TLD/api/v1/statuses
• Payload: JSON
• Wrap Request in Array: No
• Authentication: Bearer Token and then paste your token in the field below
• Set Parameters: "status" and the message you want to send

Enjoy!
