How do I post to social media with Zapier and an API?

Add a Webhooks by Zapier action with the Custom Request event, POST to https://schedulenchill.com/api/posts, set an Authorization: Bearer header with your API key, and send content plus social_account_ids as JSON. One action reaches every connected platform.

Does this use fewer Zapier tasks than native social apps?

Yes. Native apps consume one task per network per Zap run. A single webhook to Schedule & Chill fans out to every connected account and counts as one task.

Zapier Social Media Posting

Q: Is there a Schedule & Chill Zapier app?

Not yet. Webhooks by Zapier covers the full API today, and it works with any trigger in the Zapier catalogue.

Q: Can I schedule instead of posting immediately?

Yes. Include a future scheduled_at timestamp. Schedule & Chill queues and publishes it, so the Zap completes right away rather than using a delay step.

Q: Do I need a paid Zapier plan?

Webhooks by Zapier is a premium action, so it requires a paid Zapier plan. If you are on the free tier, n8n or Make are cheaper routes to the same API.

Q: What does the API return?

A 201 with the created post, including every targeted account and its own delivery status. Use a filter or path step to react when an account reports a failure.

Zapier can publish to social media through the Schedule & Chill REST API using the Webhooks by Zapier action. Send a custom POST request to https://schedulenchill.com/api/posts with a bearer token and one action step reaches X, LinkedIn, Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, TikTok, and Pinterest — instead of adding a separate app connection per network.

Create an API key

Settings → API Keys in Schedule & Chill.

Add a Webhooks by Zapier action

Choose the Custom Request event. Set Method to POST and URL to https://schedulenchill.com/api/posts.

Set headers and data

Headers: Authorization = Bearer YOUR_API_KEY, Content-Type = application/json, Accept = application/json. Put the JSON body in the Data field.

Map your trigger fields

Insert trigger values into content, and hardcode social_account_ids for the accounts this Zap should reach.

Test the Zap

A successful test returns a 201 with the created post. Check it in the Schedule & Chill queue before turning the Zap on.

Webhooks by Zapier — Data field

Copy this into your Zapier setup and replace the ids with your own.

    "content": "New on the blog: {{title}} — {{link}}",
    "social_account_ids": [789, 790],
    "scheduled_at": "2026-08-01T14:00:00Z",

What to know first

There is no official Schedule & Chill app in the Zapier directory yet — you use Webhooks by Zapier, which is a premium action on some Zapier plans.
Zapier has no built-in retry logic for a partially failed post; check the response and handle failures with a follow-up step.
Media must already exist in the media library, and account connections happen in the dashboard.

What teams build with it

Common Zapier workflows that end in a published post

Blog RSS to social

An RSS trigger fires on each new post and the webhook announces it everywhere in one task.

CRM milestones

A closed-won deal in your CRM triggers a customer-win post, drafted from deal fields, scheduled for business hours.

Form submissions to testimonials

A Typeform response containing a testimonial becomes a scheduled social post for review before it goes live.
