I have a scenario that is watching for new Facebook Page videos and then should be posting them to Instagram. I can get the video source URL but Upload a Video to Instagram can’t upload from that URL (I think due to security issues, even though they’re both Meta apps).
I tried putting in an HTTP GET file module, and it can download the file, but it only gives me binary data and the file name (file.mp4). However, the Instagram module requires a URL (i.e. https://make.com/…../file.mp4)
Instagram needs publicly accessible media URL or direct download links. You can try using cloud media hosting services like Cloudinary or more for such use case or try using files stored in records of Airtable or similar tools as they al so gives public media download links. Avoid using drive or onedrive as Instagram doesn’t load those URLs.
I hope this helps and Let me know if you need more help!
When I use the HTTP GET File module, I get the output of “file.mp4” but I assume that file is hosted somewhere on Make’s server. Is there a way to locate the path that file.mp4 is stored in to use that URL in the following Instagram module?
