How do I integrate Monday.com with Instagram for social media posts?

Hi ​@NicoleB1121 

Review the available triggers/actions and help links for each Zap app:

Hi ​@NicoleB1121 - Yes, you can do this. I would use the “Specific Columns Values changed in board” to trigger the Zap, then use the “publish photo” step to send. (You’ll need a column called something like “Ready to Publish”, and you’ll need to set a filter on the Zap to only proceed when the value is “Yes”)

I’d encourage you to put in a few failsafes, from experience. 1. Put a 5-10 minute delay step between the trigger and publish step. This gives you a few minutes to stop the Zap if the column is modified accidentally. 2. Make two columns for “ready to publish” and “push to Instagram”. Make the Zap trigger on the “push to Instagram”, but make the filter step confirm both columns have the “Yes” value. 

Additionally, I’d add a step after the Instagram publish that changes the status to Published or moves it off that board to an archive.

Hey there, ​@NicoleB1121 👋

Did Troy’s or Mistryer’s replies here help you get things sorted? Or did you find a different solution?

Looking forward to hearing from you! 🙂
