Instagram Publisher

When to use

Use the Instagram Publisher when you need to publish carousel posts directly to an Instagram Business account. This skill handles the full workflow: uploading images to imgBB (requires your own API key from https://api.imgbb.com/), creating Instagram media containers via the Graph API, and publishing the carousel. It supports 2-10 JPEG images per post.

Instructions

Workflow

List JPEG files in
```
squads/{squad}/output/images/
```
sorted by name. If no files found: stop and ask the user to add images before continuing.
Present the image list to the user with AskUserQuestion to confirm order.
Extract the caption from the content draft:
- Use the hook slide text + CTA slide text
- Max 2200 characters (Instagram limit)

Run the publish script:

node --env-file=.env squads/{squad}/tools/publish.js \
  --images "<comma-separated-ordered-paths>" \
  --caption "<caption>"

Add

--dry-run

to test the full flow without actually publishing.

On success: save the post URL and post ID to the step output file.
On failure: display the error and ask the user how to proceed.

Constraints

Images: JPEG only, 2-10 per carousel
Caption: max 2200 characters
Requires Instagram Business account (not Personal or Creator)
Rate limit: 25 API-published posts per 24 hours

Setup (first-time)

Copy

.env.example

.env

and fill in the two required variables:

INSTAGRAM_ACCESS_TOKEN=

INSTAGRAM_ACCESS_TOKEN

Pré-requisito: conta Instagram Business conectada a uma Página do Facebook, e um app criado em developers.facebook.com (tipo: Empresa).

Acesse seu app → Graph API Explorer
No dropdown do topo, selecione seu app
Clique em "Gerar token de acesso"

Ative as permissões:

(APP_ID e APP_SECRET: seu app → Configurações → Básico)

O token expira em 60 dias. Repita o processo para renovar.
