Question 1

How do I message Instagram commenters on WhatsApp?

Accepted Answer

Use an Instagram node with List Media Comments to read commenters, then route them into a WhatsApp node. WhatsApp business messaging uses approved templates, so you create a Message Template and send it to each contact.

Question 2

Does the WhatsApp node require message templates?

Accepted Answer

For business-initiated messages, yes. The WhatsApp node supports Create Message Template and List Message Templates, and you send a template when reaching out to a customer after Instagram engagement.

Question 3

Can a WhatsApp message trigger an Instagram post?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Use a WhatsApp node with List Recent Chats to read incoming messages, add a conditional to detect an approval, then route into an Instagram node set to Publish Photo Post.

Question 4

Can I send media from Instagram over WhatsApp?

Accepted Answer

The WhatsApp node supports Download Media and Get Media Url, so media handled in the workflow can be referenced when sending a WhatsApp message about an Instagram post.

Question 5

What credentials are needed?

Accepted Answer

The WhatsApp node uses a WhatsApp Business API access token and phone number ID, and the Instagram node uses an Instagram OAuth credential. Each is added once and reused across the workflow.
