Launching Draftodon - a @drafts Action Group for Mastodon 🚀
Finally finished the first version for #Draftodon - now you can easily integrate Drafts with #Mastodon
The Action Group should be really easy to use and allows you to post or schedule different types of statuses to Mastodon. It includes some helpers for composing posts and also tools to view or edit scheduled posts.
You can download the Action Group from the Drafts Directory: https://directory.getdrafts.com/g/2GL
🚀🚀🚀 [1/4]
The code and all Action descriptions and instructions are hosted in the GitHub repository here https://github.com/FlohGro-dev/Draftodon
Make sure you run the „Draftodon Setup/Update Action after downloading the Action Group and install the „Draftodon.js“ file.
To start using it, all you need to do is configure your Mastodon instance and user handle in the „Draftodon Settings“ Action, but I suggest to read through the instructions first. [2/4]
If you have any problems setting it up or using it, please let me know.
Also, if you have other use-cases you would like to see in Draftodon, I would be interested to hear about them and try to include them in future versions.
I hope Draftodon is a helpful tool for you and speeds up many of your workflows and processes. [3/4]
While it was a fun challenge to develop the Action Group - I do all of this in my free time so if this is useful for you and you want to give something back, then I would appreciate if you consider to support my work. You can just run the „support development“ Action and pick the platform you prefer.

of course please boost 🚀 the first post in this thread 👌🏼 [4/4]
@chrisbrooks so I didn’t have issues when I tried it again.
Are you sure that the actions „Draftodon“ and „Draftodon Settings“ are still there?
If you just run the „Draftodon“ Action (4th from the top) does it display the same error?
@chrisbrooks oh and can you try to delete the actiongroup, install it again from the directory
And then run e.g. „post draft“ BEFORE configuring it?
This should then display an alert that you did not configure it :)
@chrisbrooks yes that’s the issue, if you either select „Draftodon Settings“ there where it says „no action selected“
Or if you just type „Draftodon Settings“ in the Template below then it should work..
I used the one at the top but maybe sharing it in the Action directory removed the reference @agiletortoise is that possible?
@chrisbrooks that should be correct.
„Draftodon“ → includes „Draftodon Settings“
All actions that need the Draftodon.js file → include „Draftodon“
So this should be correct.
Another user had issues too, but the updated version from a few minutes ago in the directory works..
Try to delete and reinstall the action group.
Force quit Drafts and try to use it again. This should hopefully fix it….
@chrisbrooks if mastodon.social is not your instance, then you need to type in your instance there where you made the screenshot.
So for you this would be „techhub.social“
