Build a content approval workflow in n8n

Build an n8n content approval workflow that drafts posts, waits for human approval, then publishes through Postifys.

Reviewed: 2026-07-24

Answer: Keep drafting and approval in n8n (Form/Slack/Email wait nodes), then call Postifys only after approval. Never auto-publish unreviewed media to live social accounts.

Pattern

  1. Ingest - webhook, form, Drive folder, or schedule creates a draft item (title, caption, media URL, destinations).
  2. Review - Slack/Email/Form approval with approve/reject buttons.
  3. Publish - on approve, run Postifys nodes for selected platforms.
  4. Record - store Postifys history ids / URLs back to your sheet or CRM.
Safety: Put the approval Wait node before any Postifys publish action. Treat API keys as secrets in n8n credentials.
