Zapier - Image in Google Folder Automate to Instagram Post

Hi ​@dcurrycorcoran,

Welcome to the Community.

It looks like you're having trouble setting up a webhook in Zapier. To troubleshoot, check that the webhook URL is correct, use the appropriate HTTP method (GET, POST, etc.), ensure the data payload is formatted correctly (usually JSON), and verify that any required headers (like authorization) are included. You can also test the webhook separately to ensure your Google Cloud Vision API is set up correctly, including the API key.

We're looking forward to hearing from you soon.
 

I have been trouble shooting this all night. I understand that things aren’t set up correctly. I don’t know how to fix without some specific help as to why it’s set up wrong. 

Any recommendations for me to check or documentation

Hi there ​@dcurrycorcoran! 👋

I’m so sorry to hear you’ve been working on this all night—I’d be happy to lend a hand with this!

It looks like there’s a download link for the file in that URL field, instead of the API endpoint it needs to send that POST request to, so that might be the issue. 🤔 I’ve not used the Google Cloud Vision API myself but I had a quick look at their API documentation and it looks like their projects.images.annotate endpoint might be the one you’d need to reference in that URL field. 

The contents of the Data field are cut off in the screenshots but it seems like I can see a private key referenced there so it seems like you might be including authentication details in that section? If so, that might also be causing issues. As you’d need to include authentication details within the Headers section instead of that Data field. I’d recommend checking out our Send webhooks in Zaps for more details on how to set up a webhook request in a Zap.

Hope that helps to get you pointed in the right direction. If you run into any further issues or questions just let us know! 🙂

Hi ​@dcurrycorcoran 

What is the link to the API endpoint documentation you are referencing to configure the API request? (url)

NOTE: You likely do not need Zap step 2, since the same data points should be returned from Zap step 1.

Thanks for the assistance. I did take out zap step 2. Here are some additional photos. 

This includes the link to the URL without the API key. I think the issue is the Cloud Vision API not detecting the image in the file. I am new to Google Cloud APIs. 

This zap might be above my current skill level but I keep trying. I have tried different URL for the Data URL including: 

• File URL
• Web Content Link
• Export Link
• Direct Download Link

​@dcurrycorcoran 

This is the link to the Google Cloud Vision API endpoint documentation: https://cloud.google.com/vision/docs/reference/rest/v1/images/annotate

For Zap step 2, the screenshots do not show all of the configured JSON.

For Zap step 2, in the Data field, you need to remap the variable from Zap step 1.

Thanks for the assistance. I think this zap may be a bit above my expertise to fix - but I’ll keep trying. 
 

appreciate all the feedback

Is there another app that might analyze the image for chat got rather than Google Cloud Vision that I could chose

​@dcurrycorcoran 

Zap apps can be searched here: https://zapier.com/apps

AI Category: https://zapier.com/apps/categories/artificial-intelligence

Each Zap app has a profile page that lists the available triggers/actions and help links.

Zap action: ChatGPT - Analyze Image Content with Vision

With your feedback I took a step back and have things working. 

One new issue remains. When I now take the action step to add in instagram, I get an error message that says I don’t have a professional instagram account. I do have this as a connected business account in zapier.

Thanks. Yeah I have made sure all this is correct. I went and put in a support ticket. 

Thanks

Let me take these one at a time.

1. How would I know. The issue is it’s probably not configured correctly - so  how I get to correctly is the issue that I could use help with. 
    
2. Done. 
    
3. I don’t think Instagrams API works like this any longer. I believe it’s been discontinued. But yes I did try and do this.
4. I am using Zapier because of its no code advertising. I’m not looking to download more tools.

im not trying to be rude but some feedback is like people using ChatGPT to offer recommendations without offering support.
