A Mastodon connection type and action for Umbraco Automate. Post statuses to any Mastodon instance as part of an automation workflow.

Installation

dotnet add package OC.Automate.Mastodon

No further setup required. The composer registers itself automatically via Umbraco's IComposer discovery.

Setup

1. Generate a Mastodon access token

In your Mastodon account go to Preferences → Development → New application and create an application with the write:statuses scope. Copy the access token.

2. Add the token to appsettings

Access tokens are stored in configuration, not the backoffice. Add the following to your appsettings.json (or appsettings.Production.json):

{
 "OC.Automate.Mastodon": {
 "AccessTokens": {
 "myaccount": "your-access-token-here"
 }
 }
}

The key (myaccount above) is a name you choose — you will reference it when creating the connection in the backoffice. You can add multiple entries if you need to post from more than one account.

For production it is recommended to supply tokens via environment variables rather than a config file:

OC__Automate__Mastodon__AccessTokens__myaccount=your-access-token-here

3. Create the connection in the backoffice

1. Go to Automate → Connections and create a new Mastodon connection.
2. Enter your instance URL (e.g. https://mastodon.social).
3. Enter the Connection Name — this must match the key you used in appsettings (e.g. myaccount).
4. Click Test connection to verify.

Usage

Add the Send Mastodon Post action to any automation and select your Mastodon connection. Available fields:
