Automated Instagram Reels Posting from Airtable Content Calendar

Automates scheduled posting of Instagram Reels directly from an Airtable content calendar using n8n, ensuring timely publishes without manual intervention.

This workflow transforms a simple Airtable sheet into a powerful content calendar that automatically publishes Instagram Reels via the Instagram Graph API. Triggered by a Cron node at set intervals, it searches for due records (status 'To Post', scheduled_at <= NOW, platform 'IG'), processes each individually, maps fields like video_url and caption, creates a media container, waits for processing, publishes the Reel, and updates the Airtable record with the media ID and timestamp.
