Social / Postiz

This guide covers how the erxes company brain connects to Postiz for social media publishing. The Postiz integration lives under Social / Postiz at /agent/postiz in your workspace.

Who can enable Postiz

  • On the shared SaaS deployment, Postiz enrollment requires approval from a platform admin.
  • A workspace owner cannot enroll the shared deployment on their own; the request must be approved first.
  • Enterprise owners do not need this approval for their own deployment.

Enterprise enrollment

An enterprise owner connects Postiz from the Social / Postiz page.

  • The erxes origin must be a verified HTTPS origin.
  • Connect generates a single-use operator code.
  • The operator code expires 15 minutes after it is issued.
  • Use the code during that window; if it expires, generate a new one.

Workspace creation in Postiz

After connecting, the owner creates the Postiz workspace.

  • Choose a workspace name in Postiz.
  • Set a separate Postiz password, distinct from any erxes password.
  • The Postiz login email is derived from the server, not chosen by the owner.
  • If enrollment is retried, workspace placement in Postiz is preserved; retries do not create duplicate workspaces.

Initial erxes Postiz Admin

The owner selects the initial active erxes Postiz Admin during enrollment.

  • The admin can be any active tenant user, including an existing workspace member.
  • Selecting a user as Postiz Admin does not give the owner implicit access to Postiz. If another user is selected, the owner has no Postiz access through their ownership role alone.
  • The initial admin choice is immutable after enrollment.
  • Admins cannot change their own access level in Postiz.

Team membership

The erxes Postiz Admin invites active tenant users to Postiz.

  • Use Invite team member to add users with the Admin or Member role.
  • Only active tenant users can be invited.
  • Membership is managed inside Postiz after the initial setup.

Access boundaries

Postiz accounts are separate from erxes accounts.

  • erxes access does not create Postiz accounts and does not enable SSO into Postiz.
  • Postiz login and membership are managed separately from erxes users and permissions.
  • Provider OAuth is configured at the top level of Postiz, not per member.

Publishing social content

Social channels require an operator-configured provider app before they can be connected.

  • Each social network needs provider app configuration and approval by the operator.
  • Team members create drafts in Postiz, then submit them for review.
  • After review approval, content is scheduled in Postiz.
  • Check delivery status in Postiz after the scheduled time; confirm the post was delivered, not just that it was submitted.

CMS publishing bridge

The CMS can publish content to Postiz, but this is disabled by default.

  • An admin must enable cmsPublishingEnabled to turn on CMS publishing.
  • CMS content permissions are independent of Postiz permissions.
  • The bridge is a signed server-to-server flow: content_api sends to agent_api, which forwards to the gateway, which reaches Postiz.
  • The CMS bridge is not an agent tool; it never runs through the assistant runtime.
  • JWT_TOKEN_SECRET must match between the CMS side and the agent side for the signed bridge to verify.
  • The legacy CMS_POSTIZ_SHARED_SECRET is retired; matching JWT_TOKEN_SECRET is the only supported bridge secret.

Expiry and revocation

When the operator code expires or access is revoked:

  • erxes access to Postiz is removed.
  • Direct Postiz sessions are not terminated.
  • Existing Postiz schedules are not removed.
  • Postiz data stays in place.
  • Only the erxes-side link is affected.
