PostozoHow to connect Nostr to Postozo
Paste a few details from Nostr and start scheduling. This guide shows where to find each detail, each screen in Postozo, and how to fix common errors.
What you need before you start
- Your Nostr private key (it starts with nsec1).
- Optional: the relays you use. If you leave them empty, 3 popular public relays are used.
Nostr connects with details you copy from Nostr (a key, token or app password). Postozo checks them with Nostr before saving and stores them encrypted.
Connect Nostr step by step
Step 1. Open Add Channel
Sign in to Postozo. On the Calendar, press Add Channel at the top of the channel list. A window opens with a tile for every network. Find the Nostr tile and press it. Each tile also has a How to connect link that opens this guide.
If the tile says Coming soon on this server, the server you use has not added its Nostr app keys yet. Ask the person who runs your Postozo server. On postozo.com this is done for you.
Step 2. Fill in your Nostr details
A form opens. It asks for 2 details: Private key (nsec), Relays (optional). Under each field, press Where do I find this? to see the exact steps. We copy those steps below.
Private key (nsec)
- Open the Nostr app you use (for example Damus, Primal or Amethyst).
- Look in Settings for Keys, Account or Backup.
- Copy your private key. It starts with nsec1.
- Anyone with this key can post as you. Keep it secret.
Relays (optional)
- Optional. The relays your app already uses, from its relay settings.
- Separate them with commas. Each starts with wss://.
- Leave it empty to use 3 popular public relays.
Step 3. Press Connect
Postozo checks the details with Nostr before it saves anything. If something is wrong, the form stays open and shows what to fix. Nothing is saved until the check passes. The details are stored encrypted.
Step 4. Check the new channel
Back on the Calendar, the new channel shows in the channel list on the left, with a small Nostr badge on its picture. A message at the bottom says it is connected. You can now pick it in the post editor.
Step 5. Set your preferences
Press the 3 dots next to the channel to open its menu. From here you can set Preferences (default settings for every new post on this channel), edit time slots, move the channel to a customer, reconnect, turn it off or delete it.
Common errors and how to fix them
| What you see | What to do |
|---|---|
| "A key that starts with npub1 is your public key" | Paste the private key. It starts with nsec1. |
| A relay is refused | Each relay must start with wss://. |
| A red message under a field | The value does not have the right format. The message says what it should look like. |
| "We could not reach Nostr right now" | Nostr did not answer. Wait 1 minute and press Connect again. |
| "Your plan allows N channels" | You reached the channel limit of your plan. Remove a channel you do not use, or upgrade in Billing. |
How to reconnect
If the Nostr details stop working (for example you deleted the key or changed the password), Postozo marks the channel with a warning and pauses its posts. Press the 3 dots next to the channel, then Reconnect channel. The same form opens. Paste the new details and press Reconnect. The channel keeps its posts, time slots and preferences.
How to disconnect Nostr
Press the 3 dots next to the channel, then Delete. Postozo removes the channel and deletes its stored details right away. Upcoming and draft posts for that channel are removed too. Posts that are already live stay on Nostr. You need the admin or owner role in your workspace to delete a channel.
To cut access on the network side as well, delete the key, token or app password you created there.
Want to pause instead? Choose Disable Channel in the same menu. Its posts wait until you turn it back on.
What you can post on Nostr
Publishes a text note (kind 1) signed with your key to your relays. Photos and videos are added as links at the end of the note. Hashtags become Nostr tags. Follow-up comments become replies.

Questions
Is my private key safe?
It is stored encrypted and used only to sign your notes. Anyone with the key can post as you, so keep it secret.
Can I post replies?
Yes. Follow-up comments become replies.
Does connecting Nostr cost extra?
No. There is no extra charge per network. Each connected account counts as 1 channel toward the channel limit of your plan.
What if the Nostr tile says Coming soon on this server?
The server you use has no Nostr app keys yet. The server admin adds them in Admin, Networks.
