Need help troubleshooting Instagram comment automation - "Unsupported post request" error

Hi everyone,

I’m trying to set up an automation in Make.com that automatically comments on Instagram posts from an RSS feed. However, I’m stuck with an error and can’t seem to get it working.

Here’s my setup:

  • I’m using the “Instagram for Business” module to create comments.
  • I’m extracting the post shortcode from the RSS feed using a Text Parser.
  • I’m mapping the extracted shortcode to the “Media ID” field in the “Create a Comment” module.

The problem:

I keep getting the following error: “Unsupported post request. Object with ID ‘[shortcode]’ does not exist, cannot be loaded due to missing permissions, or does not support this operation.”

What I’ve tried:

  • Reconnected my Instagram account multiple times.
  • Verified the shortcode is accurate.
  • Tested with different RSS feeds and public accounts.
  • Simplified the scenario to isolate the issue.

Here’s a screenshot of my configuration:

Has anyone else encountered this issue or have any suggestions on how to fix it? Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks in advance,
