Share Instagram carousel on telegram (description of photos)

[Shestak]

Hello. I have a scenario for posting photos from Instagram to Telegram. A single photo or video works well in the form of: photo + description or video + description.

But if the post in Telegram is in the form of a carousel, then all the photos have the same description.

Please tell me how to make a description only for the first photo, so that the post in Telegram is: a carousel of photos, and below there is a description (only one)?

Welcome to the Make community!

You’ll need to Iterate the array of images so that you have the “Bundle order position” variable.

If you do not have an array of images, first use an array aggregator.

Then, you can use an IF function to only insert a description for the first image.

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

Thank you very much. Your advice helped. Now when posting a carousel in Telegram, the description appears only for the first photo.

Please tell me, in Instagram the description still contains a list of hashtags. Is it possible to remove them from the description for a post in Telegram?

One more question:
If the carousel contains only one photo or one video, then everything works fine.
But as soon as a video appears in the carousel (example: photo1, photo2, photo3, video1), then the album is loaded into Instagram - photo1, photo2, photo3, preview_video1.

Below I have uploaded scenario.

I’m not sure about that. Could this be posted as a new thread so that others can take a look at it?
