That's probably what it means. I used it around 2015.
At that time, it could sync WP to Twitter, Weibo, and Facebook.
I remember it was very simple to log in and connect accounts.
It was free before. Now you need a pro membership, costing $2.9 per month, which for US dollars is just like a tax or a tip.
In China, you can get a one-year special virtual hosting for 99.

n8n has self-built services.
I registered on serv00 for free space before.
I also deployed it.

I have watched the tutorial several times. Still, I couldn't figure it out.

Post on WP to sync with Twitter and Mastodon.
I searched, asked AI, and got a rough idea. Log in to WordPress, get all posts, then filter to keep the latest post, and then output JSON title and URL. The idea became clear. I found I didn't understand how to operate it.
There is no direct template; I can only look at other templates.
There is a WordPress to Medium template that uses HTTP requests to capture HTML information. Then filter to output the desired information. What I need is the title and URL, and then publish information on Twitter and Mastodon.
For Twitter authorization, I still need to apply for developer mode. Fortunately, it's not difficult.
I couldn't find Mastodon on n8n, so I searched for tutorials on YouTube. They are detailed and careful; just follow along. After setting it up, I had to wait a few minutes. There was a delay, and I thought it had failed, but later found out it succeeded.
I added a schedule trigger to execute it once every day at 6:00 PM.
I tested the workflow countless times, and yesterday I saw it run automatically and succeed.
