[Facebook Connector] Publish Instagram posts

Greetings all,


I am wondering if OAuth2_Token.AccessToken ("AccessToken" output from "OAuth2_Token" action) is the access token required for using Instagram API.


The access token I am talking about: https://developers.facebook.com/docs/instagram-api/guides/content-publishing#access-tokens


Example of use (access token represented as "{ig-user-id}"): https://developers.facebook.com/docs/instagram-api/guides/content-publishing#publish-photos


I am trying to sign in to my own Facebook/Instagram account via my app, and then publish Instagram posts via an action. Therefore, I am referring to this guide: https://developers.facebook.com/docs/instagram-api/guides/content-publishing


Thanks!

Hi YS, 

Although I'm not familiarized with this connector, one article that perhaps can give you some insights about Instagram posting through OutSystems is this one. 

Please give it a look, perhaps it can be helpful. 

Best regards, 

Paulo Z

I got everything to work!

To answer my own question:

OAuth2_Token.AccessToken is passed into https://graph.facebook.com/v9.0/me/accounts?access_token={accesstoken}, in order to get the {facebook-pageId}, followed by the {InstagramId} that you will then use to publish Instagram posts (:
