Question 1

How do I promote a new YouTube video on Instagram?

Accepted Answer

Use a YouTube node with List Videos by Id or Get Top Performing Videos to detect a new upload, then connect it to an Instagram node set to Publish Photo Post or Publish Photo Story with a link in the caption.

Question 2

Can YouTube analytics drive an Instagram post?

Accepted Answer

Yes. A YouTube node with Get Video Analytics or Get Channel Analytics returns performance data. Feed that into an Instagram node set to Publish Carousel Post to share a recap of your best videos.

Question 3

Can Instagram feedback reach my YouTube comments?

Accepted Answer

An Instagram node with List Media Comments returns audience feedback, and a YouTube node with Create Comment Reply or Create Video Comment lets you respond on the related video.

Question 4

Does this workflow combine metrics from both platforms?

Accepted Answer

Yes. You can run an Instagram node with Get Media Insights alongside a YouTube node with Get Video Analytics and merge the outputs into one reporting workflow for a full cross-platform picture.

Question 5

What credentials are required?

Accepted Answer

The YouTube node uses a Google OAuth credential with YouTube scopes, and the Instagram node uses an Instagram OAuth credential. Each is added once on its node and reused across the workflow.
