LATE

Schedule and manage social media posts across multiple platforms with LATE - the professional social media management platform supporting Twitter/X, Instagram, Facebook, LinkedIn, TikTok, YouTube, and Threads

Actions18

Overview

The node integrates with the LATE social media management platform, enabling users to schedule and manage posts across multiple social networks such as Twitter/X, Instagram, Facebook, LinkedIn, TikTok, YouTube, and Threads. Specifically, the "Delete" operation under the "Posts" resource allows users to remove a scheduled or published post by specifying its unique identifier. This is useful for managing content lifecycle, correcting mistakes, or removing outdated posts.

Practical examples include:

  • Automatically deleting a post that no longer aligns with current marketing campaigns.
  • Removing duplicate or erroneous posts from multiple social accounts.
  • Cleaning up scheduled posts that are no longer relevant before they go live.

Properties

Name Meaning
Post ID The unique identifier of the post to delete. This ID can be obtained from the "List Posts" operation or from the response when creating a post. It is required to specify which post to delete.

Output

The output JSON typically contains confirmation details about the deletion operation. This may include status messages or metadata confirming that the specified post was successfully deleted. There is no indication that the node outputs binary data.

Dependencies

  • Requires an API key credential for authenticating with the LATE platform's API.
  • The node communicates with the LATE API endpoint at https://getlate.dev/api/v1.
  • Proper configuration of the API authentication in n8n credentials is necessary for successful requests.

Troubleshooting

  • Common issues:

    • Providing an invalid or non-existent Post ID will likely result in an error indicating the post could not be found.
    • Missing or incorrect API authentication credentials will cause authorization failures.
    • Network connectivity problems can prevent communication with the LATE API.

  • Error messages and resolutions:

    • "Post not found": Verify that the Post ID is correct and corresponds to an existing post.
    • "Unauthorized" or "Authentication failed": Check that the API key credential is correctly configured and has sufficient permissions.
    • Timeout or network errors: Ensure stable internet connection and that the LATE API service is reachable.
