  1. Click Create a new credential.

n8n FAQs & Troubleshooting: 

I copied my API key, but where do I paste it?

You’ll need to paste your API key when creating a new credential inside your n8n workflow. In your Nuelink node, click “Create a new credential”, paste your key there, and click Save.

I installed the Nuelink node, but it’s not showing up. What should I do?

Try refreshing your n8n page after installing the node. If it still doesn’t appear, go to Settings → Nodes → Manage in n8n and make sure the Nuelink node is enabled.

My automation isn’t posting to social media. Why?

Double-check the following:

  • Your social media channels are connected in Nuelink.
  • Your workflow in n8n has a valid trigger, and your parameters are valid.
  • You used the correct API key.

The “Execute Step” button is not working. What can I do?

Make sure all your parameters are filled in correctly. If they are, try saving your workflow first, refreshing the page, and then clicking Execute Step again.

Can I send a follow-up comment to my n8n automated posts? 

Yes, you set a follow-up comment to be added to the posts. You can add it after you set up your automation on Nuelink, click edit automation, and then set up your follow-up comment. 

Can I draft the posts to review before posting? 

Yes, click on edit the automation on Nuelink, and turn on the option to draft posts before posting. 

Can I publish the automated posts directly? 

Yes, click Edit automation on Nuelink and turn on the option to Publish Immediately. Nuelink will refresh each hour and publish the latest post immediately, and queue up the rest according to the collection’s timing.
