Post your new Instagram photos as native images on X
How this automation works
Automatically share your new Instagram photos with a specific hashtag across multiple platforms. When you post a new photo on Instagram with your chosen hashtag, this Applet creates a Google Business Profile post, uploads the image to Google Drive, tweets it on X (Twitter), and saves the caption in a Google Doc. Ideal for creators and businesses that want consistent, automated cross-platform sharing.
