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?

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.

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?
