Medium Publication Posting Automation - n8n Workflow

• Content creators who need a reliable system for cross-posting articles to specific Medium publications.


• Technical writers seeking a foundational n8n template for content distribution.


• Users who want to integrate Medium posting into a larger n8n workflow, such as an AI-driven content generation pipeline.


• Anyone learning how to configure the Medium n8n node for publication targeting.

This fundamental n8n workflow provides an immediate and effective method for publishing content directly to a designated Medium publication. While simple, it highlights the correct configuration necessary for the Medium n8n node when dealing with publications rather than personal posts. This n8n template is perfect for content teams needing to standardize their publishing process or for anyone building larger, scheduled n8n automation. By utilizing this n8n workflow, you ensure consistent delivery of your articles, minimizing manual copy-pasting and maximizing efficiency.

This efficient n8n workflow starts with the Manual n8n trigger, labeled 'On clicking 'execute''. This allows for immediate, on-demand testing and execution. Once triggered, the flow moves directly to the Medium n8n node. The Medium n8n node is configured to act as the publisher. Key to this specific n8n workflow is the enabling of the 'publication' parameter, ensuring the content is routed to a specific Publication ID rather than the user's general profile feed. The user must define the article's title, content body, and the target Publication ID within the parameters of the Medium n8n node before the n8n workflow can execute successfully.

1. Import the n8n workflow: Copy the provided JSON code and paste it into your n8n instance using the 'New' -> 'Import from JSON' option.


2. Set up Credentials: The Medium n8n node requires valid API credentials. Click the 'Credentials' section on the Medium node and create a new Medium API credential (typically obtained via OAuth authentication).


3. Configure the Medium n8n node: Open the Medium n8n node. You must define the Title, Content, and crucially, the specific Publication ID where the article should be posted.


4. Test the n8n trigger: Once configured, you can test the entire n8n workflow by executing the 'On clicking 'execute'' n8n trigger.

On clicking 'execute' (Manual Trigger)
Function: Acts as the initial n8n trigger for the automation. In a live production environment, this would typically be replaced by a different n8n trigger (like a Cron node or Webhook) to automate scheduling or integrate with other systems.
Key Configuration: Standard manual execution setup.
Medium (Medium n8n node)
Function: Handles the API interaction with Medium to publish the article.
Key Configuration: Requires Medium API credentials. The 'Publication' toggle is set to true, making it mandatory to provide a Publication ID. This critical configuration ensures the content is published to the correct channel, making this a specific and useful n8n template.
