Monitoring multiple instagram accounts for updates - and repost them

How To

Hi there.
I’m trying to build scenario, where I’ll be tracking multiple users on instagram (10,20,30), check if they posted something new, and if yes - I want to repost it to my insta community.
It should work like news aggregator.

What I managed to do so far:

  1. Watching only 1 account.
  2. checking for updates
  3. Using Rapid API to get any type of media content
  4. Post it to my page.

What I need to do
Instead of watching only 1 user, I would like to watch unlimited amount of users.
Solutions that I came up at first - create gSheet with all user names that I can fetch and add as variable to watch scenario. But it didn’t work for me.

Is there any idea of how to solve it? maybe someone faced with same automation issue?

Thanks.

I see that you are already using Instagram130. Does it have a get profile feed? If yes your spreadsheet of accounts to monitor may work.

So your trigger module will begin from your Google Sheet.

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

P.S.: Investing some effort into the Make Academy will save you lots of time and frustration using Make.

How did you map the usernames into the watch module for instagram? And what module did you use for the google sheets?

@samliew thanks for reply.

yes, it has account-feed/ endpoint. And when I send request, as far as I understood, it return an Array of 12 latest posts.

I’ll try to track somehow using the list in GSheet, But I’m not sure I totally understand how to check who’s from the list of usernames just posted a new post on Instagram.

Do you have any ideas here? I tired to search in community, didn’t find unfortunately.
