Mastodon

Mastodon decentralised social posting

Mastodon is the federated, open-source social network — each Mastodon instance is its own server with its own community rules, but all instances interoperate via ActivityPub so a user on mastodon.social can follow and reply to a user on hachyderm.io. Tiny Command exposes five actions, no triggers (Mastodon's streaming API uses WebSockets rather than HTTP webhooks; for event-driven workflows that want to react to mentions or DMs, use an instance-side hook or schedule polling against the notifications endpoint): Post Status (the "toot" — text up to the instance's character limit, usually 500), Get Status, Get Home Timeline (paginated feed of the connected user's follows), Get My Account, Follow Account. The connection requires the instance URL plus OAuth — each instance is its own OAuth provider, so connecting a new instance requires registering an app there first (Tiny Command handles this automatically on connect). Post Status accepts visibility (public, unlisted, private, direct) plus content_warning (the CW field that hides content behind a click).

Actions

Do anything Mastodon can do, from a workflow.

Every action accepts dynamic inputs from upstream nodes, whether that's an AI output, a form field, or a search result.

Action	What it does	Inputs
Follow Mastodon Account	Follows a Mastodon account by ID. For "auto-follow accounts that fit our interest pattern" or "follow back our followers" workflows.	1 fields	View →
Get Mastodon Home Timeline	Returns recent posts from accounts the user follows. Useful for "summarise my Mastodon feed daily" or analysis-of-network-activity workflows.	1 fields	View →
Get My Mastodon Account	Returns the connected user's account info — display name, followers, posts count. Useful for introspection workflows.	0 fields	View →
Get Mastodon Status	Returns a specific post (toot) by ID with content, author, engagement counts. For analysis of specific posts after they're identified upstream.	1 fields	View →
Post Mastodon Status	Posts a toot with text up to the instance's limit (default 500 chars), optional visibility (public/unlisted/private/direct) and content warning. For cross-network publishing workflows.	3 fields	View →

Before you build

Three things worth knowing.

Filter at the trigger

Tiny Command counts a run the moment a trigger fires. Filtering early means only matching events spend your usage budget.

Authorize once, reuse anywhere

Connect Mastodon once and every workflow on your account can use its triggers and actions. You don't have to re-auth per workflow.

No JSON to read

Every Mastodon field shows up in the visual picker for downstream nodes. The raw payload is there for power users, optional for everyone else.

FAQ

Questions about the Mastodon integration.

If we missed yours, ping support. We usually reply within an hour.

How do I connect Mastodon to Tiny Command?

Open the Tiny Command workflow builder, drop in a Mastodon node, and click Connect. Authorize Mastodon once and any workflow on your account can use its triggers and actions. Most teams finish the connection in under two minutes.

What Mastodon triggers does Tiny Command support?

Tiny Command focuses on outbound actions for Mastodon today. Use Tiny Command's universal Webhook or Schedule trigger to start Mastodon workflows, then run any Mastodon action you need.

What Mastodon actions can I run from a workflow?

5 Mastodon actions are available out of the box, covering other operations like "Follow Mastodon Account". Every action accepts dynamic inputs from upstream nodes, whether that's a search result, an AI output, or a form field.

Is the Mastodon integration real-time?

Mastodon actions execute synchronously inside your workflow. Tiny Command waits for Mastodon's API to confirm before continuing to the next step, so downstream nodes can rely on the result.

Do I need to write code to use Mastodon with Tiny Command?

No. Every Mastodon trigger and action is fully configurable from the visual workflow builder. For edge cases that aren't covered, drop in a custom HTTP node and call any Mastodon API endpoint directly.

How much does the Mastodon integration cost?

There's a free tier you can start on without a credit card. Higher run volumes and team features come with paid plans. The Mastodon integration itself has no per-app surcharge.
