1. Access Pabbly Connect to Set Up Automation

To download Instagram Reels automatically and upload them to Dropbox, the first step is to access Pabbly Connect. This platform allows seamless integration between Instagram and Dropbox.

Start by opening a new tab in your browser. Type in ‘Pabbly.com/connect’ to reach the landing page. You will see two options: ‘Sign Up Free’ and ‘Sign In’. If you are a new user, click on ‘Sign Up Free’ to create an account. Existing users can simply sign in.

2. Create a New Workflow in Pabbly Connect

After signing into Pabbly Connect, navigate to the ‘All Apps’ page and click on ‘Access Now’ under Pabbly Connect. Now, you can create a new automation workflow.

Click on the ‘Create Workflow’ button and name your workflow, for example, ‘Instagram Reels to Dropbox’. Choose the folder in your Pabbly Connect account where you want to save this workflow. Click ‘Create’ to proceed.

• Access the Pabbly Connect dashboard.
• Click on ‘Create Workflow’ and name it.
• Select the folder for saving the workflow.

Your new workflow will open with two windows: the trigger window and the action window. This is where you will set up the automation.

3. Set Up Instagram Trigger in Pabbly Connect

Now, let’s set up the trigger in Pabbly Connect. In the trigger window, search for ‘Instagram for Business’ and select it. Choose the trigger event as ‘New Media Posted in My Account’.

Click on ‘Connect’ and select ‘Add New Connection’. You will need to connect your Instagram for Business account to Pabbly Connect. Click the ‘Connect with Instagram for Business’ button. Ensure your Instagram account is linked to a Facebook page for the connection to work.

• Select ‘Instagram for Business’ as the app.
• Choose the trigger event ‘New Media Posted’.
• Connect your Instagram account to Pabbly Connect.

After connecting, click on ‘Save and Send Test Request’. This will fetch the details of the latest post from your Instagram account.

4. Filter Instagram Media for Reels

To ensure that only Instagram Reels are uploaded to Dropbox, set up a filter in Pabbly Connect. In the action step, select ‘Filter’ and choose ‘Filter Values’ as the action event.

Connect this step and select the label as ‘Media Product Type’. Set the filter type to ‘equals’ and the value to ‘Reels’. This way, the workflow will continue only if the media type is a reel.

Select ‘Filter’ as the app. Set the filter condition to ‘Media Product Type equals Reels’. Test the filter condition to ensure it works.

Click on ‘Save and Send Test Request’ to confirm that the filter is correctly set up. This step ensures only reels trigger the next action.

5. Upload Instagram Reels to Dropbox

In the final step, you will upload the Instagram reel to Dropbox using Pabbly Connect. Click on ‘Add Action Step’ and search for ‘Dropbox’. Select it and choose the action event as ‘Upload File’.

Connect your Dropbox account by clicking ‘Connect with Dropbox’. Once connected, you will need to enter the file URL of the Instagram reel you want to upload. Map the response from the Instagram trigger to this field.

Select ‘Dropbox’ as the app for the action step. Map the media URL from Instagram to the file URL field. Enter the file name and folder path for Dropbox.

After filling in the necessary details, click on ‘Save and Send Test Request’. If successful, your Instagram reel will now be uploaded to your specified Dropbox folder.

Conclusion
