Instagram "Watch Saved Media"

How To
1

Hi friends. i know this module does not exist:frowning:

I want to create an automation that every time I save a post on Instagram, it will get all the info of that post/reel/story and save it on a nice google sheet. i know that Instagram API is not an option - what is the best walkaround to do it?

thanks in advance

Your personal “Saved” posts & lists are not available on the Instagram API.

You need to SHARE the post somewhere, like a Telegram channel with a bot that can trigger your scenario.

For more information, see

Hope this helps! Let me know if there are any further questions or issues.

I knew im asking in the right place! thats very smart! thank you! :slight_smile:
The first solution with TG is something that I think I can do, but your 2nd solution- * Instagram api endpoint for saved collections - Stack Overflow seems like a bit complex as I’m not a coder :slight_smile:
which one you think its a better solution?

thanks!

No problem, glad I could help!

1. If anyone has a new question in the future, please start a new thread. This makes it easier for others with the same problem to search for the answers to specific questions, and you are more likely to receive help since newer questions are monitored closely.

2. The Make Community guidelines encourages users to try to mark helpful replies as solutions to help keep the Community organized.

This marks the topic as solved, so that:

  • others can save time when catching up with the latest activity here, and
  • allows others to quickly jump to the solution if they come across the same problem

To do this, simply click the checkbox at the bottom of the post that answers your question:

I would suggest completing the Make Academy before jumping into building a complete scenario. If you need specific assistance when you are building a scenario it’s easier to help you then. Otherwise, you can also hire a professional by posting a request in the Hire a Pro category.

Here are some useful links and guides you can use to learn more on how to use the Make platform, apps, and app modules. I found these useful when I was learning Make, and hope they might benefit you too —

Getting Started

Help Centre Basics

Articles & Videos

Did you know, this forum has a Hire a Pro category, where you can post your request for off-site specialised help on other platforms (video call/screenshare/private messaging/etc.)? This may help you get your issue resolved faster especially if it is urgent. It is important to post your request in the Hire a Pro category, as forum members are not allowed to advertise their services (even offer FREE assistance to help) in other categories like here. Once you have posted in the Hire a Pro category, that will allow other members like me to provide booking links to our calendars for a free consultation and video assistance (including screenshare)!

Hope this helps! Let me know if there are any further questions or issues.
