Actions
What your agents can do in Instagram
5 actions. Each one is a tool your agents can call and a step your workflows can run.
Read 3
Look things up. Nothing changes.
Find your Instagram accounts
Lists the Facebook Pages the signed-in person manages and, for each, the Instagram professional (business or creator) account connected to it: its Instagram user ID and username.
Check a prepared post
Reads a media container's publishing status: FINISHED (ready to publish), IN_PROGRESS (still processing; check again shortly), PUBLISHED, ERROR or EXPIRED (not published within 24 hours).
List recent posts
Lists an Instagram professional account's most recent posts, newest first: ID, caption, media type, media address, permalink, time posted, like count and comment count.
Write 2
Create, change or send.
Prepare a photo post
Creates a media container for a single photo post on an Instagram professional account, from a public JPEG address and an optional caption.
Publish a prepared post
Publishes a media container made by "Prepare a photo post" to the Instagram account's feed, visible to everyone who can see the account.
A person can approve first
Any write action can be set to wait for a person's approval before it runs, so an agent asks before it changes anything.
Connection
How it connects
Connect it once in the console, then give it to the agents and workflows that need it.
Sign in with Facebook and approve access (OAuth).
Kept safe
- Credentials are stored encrypted with your organization's own keys.
- They are opened only by the process that makes the call, at the moment it runs, and never go into a prompt or the browser.
- Calls go only to the tool's own servers.
Ideas
Ideas to start with
Starting points made only from the actions above. Mix them with any other tool your agents can use.
- 01
Ask about your Instagram data
Ask a question in plain words. The agent can find your Instagram accounts, check a prepared post or list recent posts in Instagram, then answers with what it found.
- 02
Let an agent update Instagram
Have the agent publish a prepared post in Instagram as part of a larger task. Turn on approval and a person signs off on each change first.
- 03
Share what it finds in Slack
Give one agent Instagram and Slack: it can find your Instagram accounts in Instagram and post a summary to a Slack channel in the same run.
