OC.Automate.Bluesky 2.0.2

OC.Automate.Bluesky

A Bluesky connection type and action for Umbraco Automate.

Post to Bluesky as part of an automation workflow — for example, automatically posting when a blog post is published.

Installation

dotnet add package OC.Automate.Bluesky

No further setup required. The composer registers itself automatically via Umbraco's IComposer discovery.

Setup

1. Generate a Bluesky app password

In your Bluesky account go to Settings → Privacy and Security → App Passwords and create a new app password. Copy the generated password.

2. Create the connection in the backoffice

1. Go to Automate → Connections and create a new Bluesky connection.
2. Enter the PDS URL (defaults to https://bsky.social).
3. Enter your Identifier — your Bluesky handle (e.g. yourname.bsky.social) or email.
4. Enter the App Password you generated in step 1.
5. Click Test connection to verify.

3. (Optional) Store values in appsettings

Instead of entering values directly, you can store them under Umbraco Automate's built-in Variables (non-sensitive) and Secrets (sensitive) config sections:

{
  "Umbraco": {
    "Automate": {
      "Variables": {
        "BlueskyPdsUrl": "https://bsky.social"
      },
      "Secrets": {
        "BlueskyAppPassword": "your-app-password-here"
      }
    }
  }
}

Then reference them in the connection fields using $ syntax:

The key names (BlueskyPdsUrl, BlueskyAppPassword) are your choice — they just have to match the $ reference. For production, supply secrets via environment variables:

Umbraco__Automate__Secrets__BlueskyAppPassword=your-app-password-here

Usage

Add the Send Bluesky Post action to any automation and select your Bluesky connection. Available fields:

Migrating from 1.x

Version 2.x replaces the package-specific config section with Umbraco Automate's built-in Variables/Secrets pattern:

• The OwainCodes:Automate:Bluesky:AppPasswords / Umbraco:Automate:Providers:OCAutomateBluesky config sections are no longer read — remove them.
• The Connection Name field is gone. The app password is now entered directly on the connection, either as a literal value or as a $Umbraco:Automate:Secrets:... reference (see above).
• Existing Bluesky connections must be edited (or recreated) in the backoffice to add the app password.
