Chat & Uploads

The Chat view is the main interface for uploading content to social media platforms.

Upload Form

The bottom of the Chat view contains:

1. Platform checkboxes — Select target platforms (only connected ones are enabled)
2. File picker — Click "Attach file" to open a native file dialog (images and videos)
3. Hashtag input — Type hashtags, press Space/Enter/Comma to create bubbles
4. Caption textarea — Write your post caption
5. Send button — Triggers the upload workflow

How It Works

1. Select one or more connected platforms
2. Attach a file and/or write a caption with hashtags
3. Click Send
4. The app loads the platform-specific workflow (workflows/<platform>_upload.json)
5. Template variables ({{file}}, {{caption}}, {{hashtags}}) are substituted
6. The upload is queued and status messages appear in the chat log

Upload Workflows

Each platform has a JSON workflow file defining CDP steps:

{
  "id": "instagram_upload",
  "platform": "instagram",
  "steps": [
    { "type": "navigate", "value": "https://www.instagram.com" },
    { "type": "click", "selector": "svg[aria-label='New post']" },
    { "type": "upload_file", "selector": "input[type='file']", "value": "{{file}}" },
    { "type": "type", "selector": "textarea", "value": "{{caption}}\n\n{{hashtags}}" }
  ]
}

Workflows are stored in the workflows/ directory and can be customized.
