# Schedule Pixelfed photo posts and Stories.

Connect your Pixelfed account on any server and schedule photo posts, albums and Stories.

## What you can post to Pixelfed

- **Post**: Photos and videos, up to your server's album limit (20 on most servers). Captions up to your server's limit.
- **Story**: One photo or one video.

## Why teams schedule Pixelfed with PostBoost

- **One calendar for every channel**: See Pixelfed next to your other 14 channels and move posts when plans change.
- **One post, a version per network**: Write once, then adjust the text for Pixelfed without copying the post.
- **Know when a post fails**: If Pixelfed rejects a post, you see why and can retry it once it is fixed. A webhook can tell your code too.
- **Built for photos**: Albums, Stories, a sensitive-media flag and replies on or off, per post.

## Connect Pixelfed in three steps

1. **Open Accounts**: Choose Connect account, then Pixelfed.
2. **Enter your server**: Type your server's address and sign in there.
3. **Upload and schedule**: Add photos, choose post or Story and pick a time.

## Post to Pixelfed from your AI agent or your code

Ask your agent: "Post these three photos to Pixelfed as one album on Saturday at 10:00." (MCP tools: `upload-media-by-url`, `create-post`, `schedule-post`). Connect Pixelfed once in the dashboard; after that your agent can post to it.

API: `createPost` (https://postboost.co/docs/api/create-post/)

```bash
curl -X POST https://postboost.co/app/api/{workspaceUuid}/posts \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_TOKEN" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"accounts": [12], "queue": true, "versions": [{"account_id": 0, "is_original": true, "content": [{"body": "Our API 1.8 is live."}]}]}'
```

## Good to know

- Every Pixelfed post needs a photo or video.
- Connect Pixelfed in the dashboard. Agents cannot send a sign-in link for it yet.
