1. Accessing Pabbly Connect for Integration

To create an Instagram post from Telegram, you first need to access Pabbly Connect. This platform allows you to automate processes between different applications without any coding skills.

Start by navigating to the Pabbly Connect homepage. Here, you can either sign in if you are an existing user or click on the ‘Sign Up for Free’ button to create a new account. New users get 100 free tasks each month to explore the platform.

2. Creating a New Workflow in Pabbly Connect

Once logged into Pabbly Connect, you will see the dashboard where you can manage your workflows. Click on ‘Create Workflow’ to begin setting up the automation process.

• Enter a name for your workflow, such as ‘Create Instagram Post from Telegram’.
• Select a folder to save your workflow, if desired.
• Click ‘Create’ to proceed.

After creating the workflow, you will see two sections labeled Trigger and Action. In this case, Telegram will be your trigger application, and Instagram will be your action application.

3. Setting Up Telegram as the Trigger

In the trigger section, select Telegram as your trigger application. The next step is to choose the trigger event, which is set to ‘New Message’ or ‘Watch Updates’. Click on the connect button to establish a connection.

You will need to create a Telegram bot using the BotFather. Follow the instructions provided in Pabbly Connect to obtain the token necessary for this connection. Once you have the token, paste it into the designated field in Pabbly Connect.

• Search for BotFather in your Telegram app.
• Use the command ‘new bot’ to create your bot and get the token.
• Add the bot to your Telegram group for testing.

After completing these steps, click ‘Save and Send Test Request’ in Pabbly Connect to confirm the connection.

4. Retrieving Image URL from Telegram

After successfully connecting Telegram, you will need to retrieve the image URL from the message sent in your Telegram group. This is done by selecting Telegram again in the Action step and choosing ‘Get File’ as the action event.

Map the file ID received from the previous step, which allows Pabbly Connect to dynamically retrieve the image URL for each new message. Click ‘Save and Send Test Request’ to verify that the image URL is correctly captured.

Once the test is successful, you will see the download link for the image. This link will be used in the next step to post on Instagram.

5. Posting the Image on Instagram

The final step is to set up Instagram as your action application in Pabbly Connect. Choose ‘Publish Photo’ as the action event and connect your Instagram for Business account.

Fill in the required fields, including the photo URL (the download link obtained earlier) and the caption you want to use. Map the caption from the previous Telegram message to ensure it dynamically updates with each new post.

Enter the Instagram account you want to post to. Paste the download link of the image in the photo URL field. Click ‘Save and Send Test Request’ to finalize the process.

Upon successful completion, you will see the new post appear on your Instagram account, confirming that the integration between Telegram and Instagram via Pabbly Connect is successful.
