Triggers every hour to check for pending posts.\n2. Reads pending post details from Google Sheets.\n3. If there are pending posts, retrieves Threads User ID.\n4. Creates a post container and publishes the post to Threads.\n5. Marks posts as published or failed based on publishing success.\n\n### Setup steps\n\n- [ ] Configure Google Sheets credentials for reading and updating post statuses.\n- [ ] Set up HTTP requests to interact with Threads API, ensuring all endpoint URLs and credentials are accurate.\n\n### Customization\n\nYou can adjust the scheduling frequency from hourly to daily, or as needed, by modifying the schedule settings in the 'Every Hour' node." }, "typeVersion": 1 }, { "id": "55c62bb8-4693-4e0d-a425-2d554ddf1a4a", "name": "Sticky Note1", "type": "n8n-nodes-base.stickyNote", "position": [ 2768,
