Problem with posting on instagram

Good evening,

I have tried a thousand times now without being able to resolve the error. With my scenario consisting of 3 modules: Google Sheets “search rows”, Instagram “create a photo post” and Google Sheets “update a cell”. Explaining the problem, the error appears on the Instagram module, where the image is not found on the sheet even though I followed some advice and created a working link, in fact if this is inserted directly into the module this works and the scenario publishes the post on Instagram, but there is still an error on Instagram, captions and hashtags do not arrive correctly inserted and without errors.

Welcome to the Make community!

You have not yet provided sufficient information to demonstrate the problem that would allow us to reproduce the scenario and any error(s).

To allow others to assist you with your scenario, please provide the following:

1. Relevant Screenshots

Could you please share screenshots of your full scenario? Also include screenshots of any error messages, module settings (fields), relevant filter settings (conditions), and module output bundles. We need to see what you’re working with to give you the best advice.

You can upload images here using the Upload icon in the text editor:

We would appreciate it if you could upload screenshots here instead of linking to them outside of the forum. This allows us to zoom in on the image when clicked, and prevent tracking cookies from third-party websites.

2. Scenario Blueprint

Please export the scenario blueprint. Providing your scenario blueprint file will allow others to quickly recreate and see how you have set up the mappings in each module, and also allows us take screenshots or provide module exports of any solutions we have for you in return - this would greatly benefit you in implementing our suggestions as you can simply paste module exports back into your scenario editor!

To export your scenario blueprint, click the three dots at the bottom of the editor then choose ‘Export Blueprint’.

You can upload the file here by clicking on this button:

3. Output Bundles of Modules

Please provide the output bundles of each of the relevant modules by running the scenario (you can also get this without re-running your scenario from the History tab).

Click on the white speech bubbles on the top-right of each module and select “Download input/output bundles”.

A. Upload as a Text File

Save each bundle contents in a plain text editor (without formatting) as a bundle.txt file.

You can upload the file here by clicking on this button:

B. Insert as Formatted Code Block

If you are unable to upload files on this forum, alternatively you can paste the formatted bundles.
These are the two ways to format text so that it won’t be modified by the forum:

  • Method 1: Type code block manually

    Add three backticks ``` before and after the content/bundle, like this:

    ```
    content goes here
    ```

  • Method 2. Highlight and click the format button in the editor

Providing the input/output bundles will allow others to replicate what is going on in the scenario, especially if there are complex data structures (nested arrays and collections) or if external services are involved, and help you with mapping the raw property names from collections.

Sharing these details will make it easier for others to assist you.

I hope these examples are enough. I have a problem with the time recognition, maybe time zone or I don’t know what. I tried a thousand alternatives but the filter on my Search rows module for time doesn’t work. Instead for date it does.
I have a positive bundle only when I remove the time filter


When I add the time instead, like this, the run does not work. I tried formatting the data and various formulas but nothing!

That is probably because there are no results from the search module.

You need to create a filter after it to check if “Total number of bundles” numeric equals to 1.

Hope this helps! Let me know if there are any further questions or issues. P.S.: investing some effort into the tutorials in the Make Academy will save you lots of time and frustration using Make!

The fact is that it doesn’t recognize the time format, it now works entering this:


this is my google sheets, I had to cancel the column Time on it:

and this is the full scenario:

now the only problem is that if it launches every 15 minutes I risk not getting the exact publishing time, right?

Use the right operator.

Hope this helps! Let me know if there are any further questions or issues. P.S.: investing some effort into the tutorials in the Make Academy will save you lots of time and frustration using Make!
