Repost FB page posts to IG account

[Lars]

I'm trying to automate getting posts on my FB pages to also post on IG. I realize I could use Hootsuite or similar tools and would like to stay FB native while achieving the same effect. I created a workflow using the FB page app and the IG app but I get several immediate errors, see attached screenshot.

Anyone doing this or have a useful alternative solution?

Thanks,
Lars.

The file format you're entering in the Instagram is not correct -

You can check video tutorial on the same here - https://www.youtube.com/c/Pabbly/search?query=share photo in instagram

Yes, I realize that the format is incorrect, and this is what your FB integration is providing me with, so I'm asking what the right way (if possible) is to create such an automation.

Hey @Lars

Yes, the usecase is possible but the image which you are passing on your Facebook is not in the supported format.

You can use another action event of the application to convert the image format into the desired one and then you can pass that Image URL in the Photo URL field of Instagram.

Ex - Imgur

Excellent, thanks, will test!
