Hello )
I have created a Zap Instagram to RSS.
Everything is connected, tested, etc.
For some reason, once I created my new Instagram post - nothing happened to my RSS Feed.
The Triger is “New Media Posted in My Account”
No error shown at all.
Thx!

Data Size Limit on Content Field in "Create Item in Feed"
Zapier can only handle about 10kb of data in the Content field for the action "Create Item in Feed".
If your data exceeds the 10kb limit, the task will error out.
We've added a field to control what should happen in this case, you can set it to automatically truncate the data, or not truncate it and instead throw an error and stop the Zap.

Hi
Good question.
The Instagram trigger is scheduled meaning it can take from 1-15 minutes to fire depending on your Zapier plans.
Try checking your Zap Runs for activity: https://zapier.com/app/history/

Hello Troy )
This was the first thing I actually did...
The History shows “No results found” for both, Tasks and Runs.

RSS item too large - must be smaller than 10240 bytes
Isn't it a very strange limitation? For the single post only.

I just wonder, why? It seems to be totally useless in this case.

It may be due to the encoding and/or emojis.
