Hi @Manolo777 

Good question.

Which Instagram Zap app integration and Zap action are you trying to use?

The IG for Biz Zap action Publish Photo only supports 1 photo.

@Troy Tessalone thank you very much.

 

Maybe I probably expressed myself wrong. I am aware that a post can only contain one photo. I would like the RSS feed to process all RSS entries one after the other, for example in one hour or day. But not only when a new element is added. I need this to fill the empty instagram business account with the old/all RSS Feed Items.

Look into using these apps:

Digest

Looping

@Troy Tessalone thank you.

The problem with these app is, that the “RSS Feed by Zapier” only fires on a new item. But it should fire all rss elements at once, without trigger for new elements. How could I do this?

@Manolo777 

You have to send all RSS items to a Digest in 1 Zap.

Then release the Digest in a different Zap.

From there you can use the Looping app to iterate thru each RSS item in the Digest to post to IG.

@Troy Tessalone could you please show me an example?

@Manolo777

Try to configure and test the Zaps.

That’s the best way to learn.

Hi @Manolo777!

I’m so pleased Troy was able to help you identify the cause of that error here. 🙂

Do you need any help reducing the length of the title to be under 32 characters, or have you sorted that out now?
