Question 1

How do I publish Instagram posts from a Google Sheets row?

Accepted Answer

Use a Google Sheets node with Read Multiple Sheet Ranges or a single range read to pull planned rows, then route each into an Instagram node set to Publish Photo Post. Map the caption and image URL columns to the Instagram fields.

Question 2

Can I log Instagram insights into a spreadsheet automatically?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Add an Instagram node with Get Account Insights, then connect it to a Google Sheets node using Append Rows to Sheet. Each run adds a new dated row with the returned metrics.

Question 3

How do I mark a row as posted after publishing?

Accepted Answer

After the Instagram publish node runs, connect it to a Google Sheets node that writes to the same row. You can write the new media ID and a status value back so the sheet reflects what has shipped.

Question 4

Can the workflow handle a whole content calendar at once?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Read the full range with the Google Sheets node and use an iteration node to loop over the rows, publishing each through the Instagram node. A filter node can skip rows that are not ready.

Question 5

What credentials does this need?

Accepted Answer

The Google Sheets node uses a Google OAuth credential with Sheets scopes, and the Instagram node uses an Instagram OAuth credential. Each is configured once and reused across every node of that type.
