Instagram for Business - Get Media Insights Module does not accept a variable

Questions
1

I am trying to set up social media automation. I have already managed to publish an Instagram post. Now, I would like to analyse the post’s performance. This works when I enter the original ID, e.g. ‘17863215948471880’. However, I want to retrieve the ID from a previous module. When I insert the variable name of the previous module, the form immediately tries to load that media ID and an error message appears (Failed to load data!). I cannot even save the dialogue due to the error.

As I thought I might have done something wrong, I also tried to use a working blueprint from Hicham_Zaggoti (see Instagram: Are “impressions” deprecated? #3 by Hicham Zaggoti). But I get the same error here.

Welcome to the Make community!

In the field above, manually insert a valid media ID using the “Search” button.
After you have selected the Metrics that you want, you can map the variable back into the ID field.

Hope that points you in the right direction. If you have any more questions, just ask.
