What is your goal?
writing post with images on facebook and instagram
What is the problem & what have you tried?
the weirdest thing is happening I have this automation when I test it it works fine sends beautiful pictures to facebook and instagram with the text but when it works on its own facebook dosnt receive an image just a large empty space where the image should be . Instagram is working great, is this to much for the server to handle all at once should I could I delay the facebook post?

Hi @Stephanie_Yepes… The fact that it works when tested manually but fails on automatic runs is a timing issue, not a server load issue. What’s most likely happening is that when the scenario runs automatically, the image URL isn’t fully ready or accessible by the time Facebook tries to fetch it. Adding a short delay before the Facebook module using a Sleep module should fix it. Try 10–15 seconds and see if that resolves it.
Your automation is posting too fast. Facebook sometimes can’t handle it and shows a blank image, while Instagram works fine. Try this:
-
Add a short delay before posting to Facebook.
-
Make sure the image is fully ready before posting.
-
Use JPG or PNG images under 8 MB.
A small delay usually fixes the problem.

Hey Stephanie,
can you check the execution history and see what the input and output bundles of the facebook module were?
I added a 15 second delay it dosnt work but this is the recent post where there is a blank image
A delay was never going to work anyways.
Can you check the link and see if the image is available direclty?
