What you need
- Self-hosted n8n with the n8n-nodes-bundlesocial node
- A Google Sheets Trigger credential in n8n
- A sheet with the columns Text, Image URL and Post Date
- Works on the Free plan (20 posts a month)
How the workflow works
Each step is a node in the workflow, under the same name.
- 01
New row in sheet
The Google Sheets Trigger checks the sheet every minute. Once the workflow is active, it only passes on rows added since the last check. - 02
Upload image from URL
bundle.social downloads the image from the Image URL column and returns an upload id. - 03
Create post
The bundle.social node schedules one post for Instagram, Facebook and LinkedIn with the Text column and the image. An ISO 8601 Post Date is used as written, a formatted date or a Sheets date number is converted, and an empty cell means now. Text that is not a date, such as TBD, makes the API reject that row with an error onpostDate.
Set it up
Credentials and troubleshooting are on the n8n integration page.
- On self-hosted n8n, open Settings > Community Nodes, install n8n-nodes-bundlesocial, and accept the notice.
- Download the workflow file and import it with Workflows > Import from File.
- Add a bundle.social API credential with a key from bundle.social > Organization > API Keys.
- Add a Google Sheets Trigger credential and pick the spreadsheet and sheet in New row in sheet.
- In Create post, pick the team with the three accounts connected. Remove a network from Social Account Types to skip it.
- Activate the workflow and add a row.
Before you rely on it
- Test workflow sends every row already in the sheet. Test on a sheet with a single row.
- Instagram does not accept posts without media, so every row needs an Image URL.
- Write Post Date as text, for example 2026-11-12T09:00:00Z. A date without a time zone, such as 11/13/2026 10:30, is read in the n8n server's time zone.
