Updates for Instagram: Kick Off Workflows from New Media and Pass Information About Users to Other Apps

As Instagram's popularity grows, so does its Zapier integration. Now you can ignite workflows in your other apps when new media is posted by a specific user using the New Media Trigger. For example, keep track of influencers in your space with a ping when they post or keep records of your brand's presence in an internal database.

This update also adds a Find User Action. Used in conjunction with existing Triggers (like New Media posted, or New Tagged Media) you can search Instagram for a user and then pass their information to your other apps automatically. Use this workflow to build a running database of posts and user information by sending info like follower count to your other apps. You can also send detailed alerts to your team or even pass data to your marketing CMS or sales CRM.
