This n8n workflow automates the process of posting a single image to Instagram using the Facebook Graph API. The workflow is designed for social media managers and marketers who want to streamline their content publishing. It begins with a manual trigger, allowing users to initiate the process on demand. The workflow then uses a node to set essential parameters such as the image URL, Instagram business account ID, and post caption. Next, it prepares the media by making a POST request to the Facebook Graph API, which uploads the image to Instagram.
Once the media is uploaded, the workflow checks the status of the upload to ensure it is finished. It then proceeds to publish the media by creating a media publish request. After publishing, it verifies whether the post was successfully published by checking the status. If the post is successfully published, it sends a confirmation email. If the post fails at any stage, it can notify the user via email about the failure, enabling quick troubleshooting.
Optional nodes include retrieving the Instagram account ID and detailed permission notes, which are useful for setting up and debugging the process. This workflow is ideal for content creators needing scheduled or manual Instagram posts with minimal manual intervention, enhancing productivity and consistency in social media marketing.
