I’m building a ZAP that posts my latest Facebook post to Instagram (business account). This works just fine. But now I need to find the URL to the just created Instagram post. All I get back from Instagram is the ID from th epost.

How can I get the URL to the Instagram post?

Thanks!

Patrick

Hi @patrickmast 

You can derive the IG post URL using a combo of static and dynamic values like such:

https://www.instagram.com/p/[POSTID]

Hey Troy, thank you for your reply.

Sorry but your suggestion does not work. The ID I get back from the Instagram post is “17893327031052563” and the post URL is https://www.instagram.com/p/CPbA7YLAR-A 👉 See? They don’t match.

Can you provide a screenshot of the response from the Instagram Business action?
