How does Multi Upload Tool work?

Multi Upload Tool simplifies your workflow by allowing you to upload a video once and distribute it to multiple platforms (TikTok, YouTube Shorts, Instagram Reels) simultaneously. You can schedule posts, manage captions, and track performance from a single dashboard, saving you hours of manual work.

Can I manage multiple accounts?

Yes! Depending on your subscription plan, you can connect and manage multiple accounts for each platform. This is ideal for content creators with multiple brands or agencies managing client accounts.

Do you support scheduling?

Absolutely. You can schedule your posts for days, weeks, or even months in advance. Our system will automatically publish them at your specified times, ensuring consistent engagement with your audience without you needing to be online.

How do you handle API updates (e.g., if TikTok changes their algorithm)?

We act as a middleware buffer. If a platform updates its API, we update our backend immediately. This means you don't have to rewrite your code—our unified API remains stable, saving you the headache of maintaining integrations for multiple constantly changing platforms.

What are the API Rate Limits?

Rate limits depend on your tier. For the Free and Basic plans, we have generous daily limits to prevent abuse. For Pro, Business, and Agency tiers, we offer high-throughput limits suitable for SaaS applications. Usage details are available in the developer dashboard headers.

What file formats and sizes are supported?

We support MP4, MOV, and AVI up to 4GB per file. Our engine automatically transcodes and optimizes parameters (bitrate, resolution, aspect ratio) to meet the specific requirements of each destination platform (e.g., converting to 9:16 for Reels/TikToks automatically).

Do you support Webhooks for event notifications?

Yes, Webhooks are available on Pro and Agency plans. You can listen for events like upload.success, upload.failed, or auth.expired to trigger actions in your own app instantly without polling our API.

Will using an automation tool decrease my views (Shadowban)?

No. We strictly adhere to the official API guidelines of TikTok, YouTube, Instagram, and LinkedIn. Unlike bot services that simulate clicks, we are a legitimate publishing tool. The algorithms treat content uploaded through our system exactly the same as native uploads.

Where is my data stored?

Your data is securely stored on encrypted servers located in compliant data centers. We prioritize your privacy and security, ensuring that your content and account credentials are protected at all times. We do not share your personal information with third parties.

Is my account safe? Do you store my passwords?

We never store your social media passwords. We use official OAuth 2.0 protocols, meaning you verify directly with platforms like TikTok or Google, and we only receive a secure token to manage uploads. You can revoke this access at any time from your social media settings.

Do you offer White-Labeling for Agencies?

Yes. The Agency plan allows you to remove our branding entirely. You can use your own domain (CNAME), logo, and color scheme on the dashboard and in reports, presenting the tool to your clients as your own proprietary technology.

Can I upgrade or downgrade my plan later?

Absolutely. You can scale seamlessly. If you upgrade to a higher tier like Agency, the changes are instant. Prorated billing applies, so you only pay for what you use.

How It Works

Your automation pipeline in 3 simple steps. No coding required.

Step 1

Your Trigger

A file lands in Google Drive, a row is added in Sheets, a product is created in Shopify — anything that n8n supports (400+ apps)

Step 2

Multi Upload Tool API

n8n sends the video + metadata to our API. We handle OAuth tokens, video transcoding, platform rules, rate limits — everything.

Step 3

Published Everywhere

Your video is live on TikTok, YouTube Shorts, Instagram Reels, Facebook, LinkedIn, Bluesky — at native quality, on schedule.

What Multi Upload Tool Handles for You

You focus on your content. We handle the technical complexity of posting to 7 platforms.

OAuth & Authentication

Connect your TikTok, YouTube, Instagram accounts once via simple login. We manage all OAuth 2.0 tokens, refreshes, and re-authentication. Official API partner — no shadowban risk.

Video Transcoding

Upload any MP4, MOV, or AVI (up to 4GB, 4K). We auto-convert to each platform's format, resolution, and aspect ratio — 9:16 for TikTok, 16:9 for YouTube, 1:1 for Instagram.

7 Platforms, 1 Endpoint

TikTok, YouTube Shorts, Instagram Reels, Facebook Reels, LinkedIn, Bluesky, Pinterest. Pass a 'platforms' array and we post to all of them. One API call, everywhere.

Scheduling & Queue

Pass a 'scheduledTime' and we queue your video for the right moment. Post at 3 AM when your audience is most active — without being awake. Batch 50 videos, schedule them across the month.

Rate Limits & Retries

Each platform has different rate limits and error patterns. We handle them all — automatic retries with backoff, error queuing, and status webhooks so your n8n workflow stays clean.

Multi-Account & Teams

Manage multiple social accounts per platform. Agency plans support white-label, team workspaces, and client isolation. Connect 150+ accounts on the Agency plan.

Workflow Ideas: What You Can Build

Real automations you can set up in minutes. n8n's visual editor handles everything — no coding needed.

Google Drive → TikTok + Instagram + YouTube

Drop a video in your Google Drive folder → n8n detects it → Multi Upload Tool posts it to TikTok, Instagram Reels, and YouTube Shorts. No manual upload needed.

Cron (Every Day at 9 AM) → All Platforms

Every morning at 9 AM, n8n grabs your next video from a Google Sheet queue, sends it to Multi Upload Tool, and publishes across all 7 platforms. Fully hands-off.

Google Sheets Row → TikTok + YouTube

Add a row in your content spreadsheet (title, file URL, hashtags). n8n picks it up, calls Multi Upload Tool's API, and your video is live on TikTok and YouTube Shorts.

Shopify New Product → Instagram Reels + TikTok

List a new product? n8n grabs the product video and details, sends them to Multi Upload Tool, and creates a Reel and a TikTok automatically.

RSS Feed (New Article) → LinkedIn + Facebook

New blog post published? n8n detects it via RSS, picks up the attached video, and Multi Upload Tool posts it to LinkedIn and Facebook Reels.

Webhook (Your App) → Multi-Platform

Your own app or CMS sends a webhook to n8n with video data. n8n forwards it to Multi Upload Tool's API → posted everywhere. Ideal for SaaS integration.

What Is n8n?

n8n (say "n-eight-n") is a workflow automation tool — like Zapier or Make, but you can self-host it for free. No per-task pricing.

You don't need to code. Build workflows visually: drag nodes, connect them. Install the n8n-nodes-multi-upload-tool community node (Settings → Community nodes) to get a native node — no HTTP configuration needed. A Google Drive node detects a new file → Multi Upload Tool node posts it → your video is live on TikTok, YouTube, and Instagram.

Two options: n8n Cloud ($20/mo, zero setup) or self-hosted (free via Docker). Both work identically with Multi Upload Tool.

The key advantage: Multi Upload Tool removes all platform complexity. No TikTok developer app, no YouTube API console, no Instagram app review. One API key covers all 7 platforms.

API Call Example

This is what the n8n HTTP Request node sends to Multi Upload Tool. You configure this visually — no hand-coding needed.

n8n HTTP Request → Multi Upload Tooljson

// n8n HTTP Request Node — Post a video to all platforms
// No developer accounts needed — just your MUT API key

{
  "method": "POST",
  "url": "https://api.multi-upload-tool.com/api/v1/upload",
  "headers": {
    "x-api-key": "YOUR_API_KEY"
  },
  "contentType": "multipart-form-data",
  "body": {
    "accountId": "{{ $json.accountId }}",
    "title": "{{ $json.title }}",
    "description": "{{ $json.description }}",
    "platforms": ["tiktok", "youtube_shorts", "instagram_reels"],
    "scheduledTime": "{{ $json.scheduledTime }}",
    "video": "={{ $binary.file }}"
  }
}

// That's it. Multi Upload Tool handles:
// ✓ OAuth tokens for each platform
// ✓ Video transcoding (format, resolution, aspect ratio)
// ✓ Platform-specific requirements
// ✓ Rate limits and retries
// ✓ Scheduling queue

How to Set Up n8n + Multi Upload Tool (5 Steps)

Get Your Multi Upload Tool API Key

Sign up at Multi Upload Tool (free plan available). Go to Settings → API Keys and generate your key. This key lets n8n post to all your connected social accounts — TikTok, YouTube, Instagram, Facebook, LinkedIn, Bluesky — without you needing developer accounts on each platform.

Open n8n (Cloud or Self-Hosted)

Use n8n Cloud (starts at $20/month, no setup needed) or self-host for free with Docker. Both work the same way. If you're not technical, n8n Cloud is the easiest option — just sign up and start building workflows.

Create a Workflow with Your Trigger

Click 'New Workflow' in n8n. Add your trigger: Google Drive (new file), Google Sheets (new row), Cron (time-based), RSS (new article), or Webhook (from your app). This is the event that starts your automation.

Install the Multi Upload Tool Community Node

In your n8n instance, go to Settings → Community nodes and install 'n8n-nodes-multi-upload-tool'. This gives you a native node — no HTTP Request setup or copy-pasting required. Create a 'Multi Upload Tool API' credential with your API key and you're ready to build.

Activate and Forget

Test the workflow once, verify your video appears on TikTok/YouTube/Instagram. Then activate it. From now on, every time your trigger fires, videos are posted automatically. Check n8n's dashboard anytime to see execution logs.

SaaS Developers

Building an app that needs social media publishing? Use n8n as middleware: your app sends a webhook → n8n calls Multi Upload Tool → video posted to 7 platforms. Skip months of OAuth flows, transcoding logic, and API reviews.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is n8n and why use it with Multi Upload Tool?

n8n is a workflow automation tool — think of it as a more flexible, self-hostable version of Zapier. When you connect n8n to Multi Upload Tool, you can create automations like: 'when a new video is added to my Google Drive, post it to TikTok, YouTube Shorts, and Instagram Reels automatically.' Multi Upload Tool handles all the hard parts — platform APIs, OAuth tokens, video transcoding — and n8n handles the trigger logic.

Do I need to create developer accounts on TikTok, YouTube, or Instagram?

No. That's the main advantage of using Multi Upload Tool. You connect your social accounts once in Multi Upload Tool's dashboard (simple OAuth login — like 'Sign in with Google'). Then your n8n workflows use a single API key to post to all platforms. No TikTok developer app, no YouTube API console, no Instagram Graph API setup, no app review process.

Do I need to know how to code?

No. n8n is visual — you drag and drop nodes to build workflows. Install the 'n8n-nodes-multi-upload-tool' community node from Settings → Community nodes, add your API key, and start building. No HTTP configuration or copy-pasting required. If you can fill out a form, you can set up this integration.

Can I use n8n Cloud instead of self-hosting?

Yes. n8n Cloud starts at $20/month and requires zero technical setup — just sign up and start building workflows. If you prefer to self-host, n8n is free to run on your own server with Docker. Both options work identically with Multi Upload Tool.

What triggers can I use to post videos automatically?

Anything that n8n supports (400+ apps): Google Drive (new file in folder), Google Sheets (new row), Dropbox, Notion, Airtable, Shopify (new product), WordPress (new post), RSS feeds, email attachments, webhooks from your own app, scheduled cron jobs (e.g., every day at 9 AM), and more.

How much does it cost?

Multi Upload Tool starts free (15 uploads/month, 2 accounts) and paid plans start at $9.99/month for unlimited uploads. n8n Cloud starts at $20/month, or self-host n8n for free. There's no extra cost for the integration itself — you just use Multi Upload Tool's API.

Which platforms can I post to?

Through Multi Upload Tool: TikTok, YouTube Shorts, Instagram Reels, Facebook Reels, LinkedIn, Bluesky, and Pinterest. Multi Upload Tool is an official API partner of TikTok, YouTube, and Instagram — no risk of shadowbans. Videos upload at native quality (up to 4K, 4GB max).

Can I schedule posts for specific times?

Yes. Pass a 'scheduledTime' parameter in your API call and Multi Upload Tool will queue the video for that exact time. Combined with n8n's cron triggers, you can build batch workflows: process 50 videos on Sunday, schedule them across the week, and never touch it again.

Can an agency use this for multiple clients?

Yes. Create separate Teams (workspaces) in Multi Upload Tool for each client. Each team has its own connected accounts and API key. In n8n, build per-client workflows or one master workflow that routes to the right team. White-label is available on Business and Agency plans.

Does Multi Upload Tool handle video format conversion?

Yes. Multi Upload Tool automatically transcodes your video to the right format, resolution, and aspect ratio for each platform. Upload an MP4, MOV, or AVI and it's converted server-side. No need to prepare different versions for TikTok (9:16) vs YouTube (16:9).

Where can I find the full documentation?

The complete n8n integration guide with screenshots and step-by-step instructions is at docs.multi-upload-tool.com/n8n. The general API reference is at docs.multi-upload-tool.com/api-reference.
