Hey everyone! This is a new Instagram automation to post carousels if you want to check it out! → ua-cam.com/video/_5uaJNqCT50/v-deo.htmlsi=mL9R67hPXrVVvERB
This was very helpful. Do you have a way of adding text to the IG post? Just like you took the name and that became caption here, I'm looking for something that will take the text and add it to the image itself at some place on the picture like the top or bottom
Hi there, Just discovered your channel today and subbed, member 271. Your videos are professional, well lit and great sound. If this is your first channel, well done bro! nice one. I like all this automated post stuff and im learning about "Make" set ups. Looking forward to more explainer videos, so thank you.
Wow thanks for all the compliments! This is my first channel and first attempt at making videos so I appreciate the good words! Thanks for subscribing!
Hi Kirk, I'm also having issues going further than the first modul. I'm getting this error: BundleValidationError Validation failed for 1 parameter(s). Missing value of required parameter 'file'. Origin Make Automatic error handler If you want to handle this error automatically, choose one of the following options. This will create a new error-handler route in your scenario. You can then expand the route in any way you like.
Im not quite sure without knowing more about the error but I think you need to actually drop a file into your google drive folder. If you have one in there, you need to remove it then add it back in
Hey, I don't know where I made the mistake but from first step it is not jumping to second module, for some unknown reasons. Can anyone tell what is the issue?
If it simply wont proceed you can reset the trigger module to run with new data. Right click on the trigger and configure your options there. Alternatively, there may be no new files in your folder. You can remove all your files. then drop them in again to trigger
@@kirkartman in your example, you added 1 image to the folder. Then on scheduled day it will post 1 image. Automation is over. What if I have 100 images in the folder, and I want to post 1 image per day for 100 days. The title of the video is misleading. I have exact same problem as the person below, the automation doesn't go further than the first module. It doesn't help to drop a file in the folder, i was moving the file back and forth all the time, the google drive just doesn't find the file and returns { null }. If i change automation 'from now on' to 'manual' I can see the file, but otherwise its just doesn't work.
@@sauer55555If you drop 100 files into the folder and set the schedule to every day, then you will have 100 days of posting 1 image. It will run every day. When you set it to "from now on," you are telling it to disregard everything you have in the folder already and only process new files based on modified time. If you are moving files in and out of the folder, nothing will change. The Google Drive module processes files based on modified time, so you would need to modify the file and then drop it back in. Alternatively, If you want to process files already in the folder, select "choose where to start" or "all" try not to troll so hard, my friend. I'm always willing to help. You know where to find me if you want to learn more.
I don't know what module you're getting a limit error on but you can check your usage limits on make. on the free version, you have greater usage limits. If you're getting errors down the line watch my other video on posting carousels. It's an updated method of posting.
The Instagram API requires an image URL to be able to post. You can't post directly from Google Drive. The discord step allows you to acquire that URL from an image downloaded from Google Drive. You can put a different app at this step but we still need an image URL to have Instagram be able to use it.

Yes that can be done! This automation is just for posting. Watch some of my recent videos
Hello, I also connected as you instructed.
It can only run 1 step. I checked but didn't see any errors.
Please advise.
Most likely its looking for a new file but that file in there is not new. Add a new file to google drive to kick it off
how about video on Instagram ? is it same as images?
watch my other video ua-cam.com/video/CmzZ_RPpsek/v-deo.html

If i was just posting images in a discord could i bypass the first two google drive steps?
yes you could
@@kirkartman cool thank you it was a great tutorial. Are you going to do one on facebook business page setup?
Is there a way to use drive instead of discord?
This is an updated version ua-cam.com/video/rRfqXeIU12U/v-deo.html
Instagrams api does not allow direct posting from google drive
Yes, can we see a similar vid for reels?!
Yes! Working on that one next.
If i dropped multiple photos, would it still work? Would it post all photos in google drive folder, or wait for the next automation scheduled time?
It will post 1 photo per run. If you have a run scheduled once per day then only 1 photo will post per day.

why the hell would spent time on this if it posts only 1(!) image. And its broken anyways. Doesn't work.
Not sure what you mean. It posts as many images as you want, and if it's broken, then you did it wrong

It post on Instagram without music?
Yes. This will post an image without music
is it free i am getting limit error??

Seems quite complex with all the steps. Why do you need the discord step for example?

You can put a different app at this step but we still need an image URL to have Instagram be able to use it.
@@kirkartman ok got it - thanks. So it is just due to some limitations.
I think it good for pinterest
I'm working on a Pinterest automation
Reels
Working on that video next!
