Automate Instagram Reel Downloads to Google Drive with Telegram Alerts

This n8n workflow automates the process of downloading Instagram Reels triggered by incoming webhooks from Meta/Instagram APIs. It validates webhook requests using challenge-response and a custom verify token, filters messages to ensure they come from the specified sender, and downloads the Reel video from the provided URL. The downloaded file is then uploaded to a designated Google Drive folder, generating a shareable link for easy access.

Key features include precise timestamping with ISO unique IDs for logging, updating a Google Sheet with reel details like status, URL, and timestamp for comprehensive record-keeping, and instant Telegram alerts with download confirmation and Drive links. This ensures you never miss important content while maintaining organized storage and activity logs.

Ideal for social media managers, content curators, and marketers, it saves hours of manual downloading and organizing. Use cases include archiving competitor Reels, saving viral content, or building a personal media library. Requires Meta app webhook setup, Google OAuth for Drive/Sheets, and Telegram bot credentials. Highly scalable for high-volume social monitoring.
