Instagram actions

Nekton can use any feature that is available in Instagram API. Using our advanced AI, you can easily create custom automations for Instagram. Here are some typical actions you can do in your automated workflows.
API Request (Beta)
This is an advanced action which makes a raw HTTP request that includes this integration's authentication. This is useful if an application has an API endpoint that Nekton doesn't implement yet. You will be expected to read and utilize the API documentation provided by the application. Further, if the application changes their API, you will be expected to make the appropriate fixes and updates.
App Extensions (Beta)
Performs an API call using an App Extension (Beta) entry, which you can select or create, later within this Flow's setup. App Extensions (Beta) can be reused across multiple flows and are managed centrally through the App Extensions (Beta) builder.
New Media Posted in My Account
Triggers when a photo or video is posted to your account.
