Setting up a Zapier/Webflow/Instagram integration allows you to automate various tasks and workflows between these platforms. With this integration, you can trigger actions in Webflow whenever specific events occur in Instagram. To set it up, follow the tutorial below:

  1. Create accounts:
  • First, make sure you have accounts on Zapier, Webflow, and Instagram.
  1. Sign in to Zapier:
  • Log in to your Zapier account or create a new one if you haven't already.
  1. Start a new Zap:
  • Once you're in the Zapier dashboard, click on the "Make a Zap" button to start creating a new Zap.
  1. Choose a trigger app:
  • In the first step, you will need to select Instagram as your trigger app. Search for Instagram in the app directory and click on it.
  1. Choose a trigger event:
  • Now, select the specific event in Instagram that will trigger the integration. For example, you might choose "New Media Posted" to trigger the Zap whenever a new post is made on your Instagram account.
  1. Connect your Instagram account:
  • Follow the prompts to connect your Instagram account to Zapier. You will be asked to authorize Zapier to access your Instagram data. Grant the necessary permissions to continue.
  1. Test the trigger:
  • After connecting your Instagram account, Zapier will test the trigger event to ensure it is working correctly. Make sure you have some recent activity on your Instagram account to trigger the test successfully.
  1. Choose an action app:
  • In the next step, select Webflow as the action app. Search for Webflow in the app directory and click on it.
  1. Choose an action event:
  • Now, select the specific event in Webflow that you want to trigger when the Instagram event occurs. For example, you might choose "Create Item" to create a new item in a Webflow collection whenever a new post is made on Instagram.
  1. Connect your Webflow account:

    • Follow the prompts to connect your Webflow account to Zapier. You will be asked to provide your Webflow API key, which you can generate from your Webflow project settings.
  2. Set up the action:

    • Configure the necessary details for the action event in Webflow. This may include selecting the appropriate collection, mapping the fields, and defining any required data.
  3. Test the action:

    • After setting up the action event, Zapier will test the integration by performing a test run. This will ensure that the action is executed correctly in Webflow.
  4. Enable the Zap:

    • If the test run is successful, you can enable the Zap to start automating tasks between Instagram and Webflow. Give your Zap a name and toggle the switch to turn it on.

Congratulations! You have successfully set up a Zapier/Webflow/Instagram integration. Now, whenever the trigger event occurs in Instagram, Zapier will automatically perform the action event in Webflow based on your defined criteria.
