Hi!

I’m trying to connect my Facebook group to my instagram page. 

I want to be able to schedule my posts on Facebook and have them post to my instagram feed. I got Facebook connected but when I go to mess with the Instagram side of things and choose an event nothing pops up. What am I doing wrong?

Just wanted to follow up here to clarify that the Instagram app integration doesn’t have any action events available to select. So this is why it’s not possible select any when attempting to set up the Zap.

The Instagram for Business app integration has a Publish Photo action event available so it may be worth using that app in the Zap instead. You can view the different triggers/actions available for each of those Instagram app integrations here:


And we have a guide on How to Get Started with Instagram for Business on Zapier which may be useful in getting the Zap set up. :)

Hi @cfaber123 

Perhaps post screenshots of how your Zap steps are configured as well as the issue you are having.

Also be sure to reference the available help articles for each app.
