[HOW TO] change the account commenting on an IG post?

:bullseye: What is your goal?

It’s all in the title.

:thinking: What is the problem & what have you tried?

The scenario posts on 7 different insta accounts, and I want each insta account to comment on its own post.

As you can see, it’s connected to my FB account, but i’ve got 15+ pages & insta accounts, and I can’t see an option to select which account will comment. I don’t want a random acc to comment on all other accs.

In Make, the Create a comment module comments as the Instagram account connected in that module. You can’t pick a different IG account from the same connection at runtime. So the fix is to create one connection per IG business account/Page and make sure each post/comment module uses the matching connection. In short: the commenter is controlled by the connection, not by a field inside the module.

Thank you, so not possible to comment as another account right? Any workaround ?

This kind of explains it, no?

Not really, that’s how it is now - unless i’m misunderstanding something.
Also, I misphrased it initially when i said “I want each insta account to comment on its own post” because that’s what it already does as he explained it well.

Allow me to rephrase; basically I meant to say I want to select which account comments where, as per what the title says, how to change the account commenting on a post.

Sorry, english is my 2nd language sometimes I get a bit confused.

You can’t change that dynamically, you need to create a new connection for each account. Then after the post is created, have an if/else module check which account made the post and follow that with the modules that will make the comments. And you will need a separate module for each different account. If you are managing 15+ accounts, then you need 15+ modules.

I was showing 1 of the modules as an example, but currently each different account that posts is the one used by the following module that comments.

However I don’t understand what you mean by the if/else and by the 1 connection for each account, since the connection is tied to the my personal FB profile and not to a FB page or Business portfolio.

Even tho each FB page has its own business portfolio, once my personal FB is connected, it gives access to every connected IG account.

Yes, the connection is tied to your personal FB, so when you make a post it is coming from your personal FB. If you want the post to come from someone else, you need to create a new connection for them.

That’s what it already does, I’m posting from every different page as my account has access to all the pages I manage

Hello,

There are two auth methods for Instagram:

Instagram API with Instagram Login
Instagram API with Facebook Login

Make.com uses Facebook Login. If you want to use Instagram Login, you have to create your own app and use GraphQL with HTTP module.
