💡 Pro Tip — Heads up — if this workflow’s Instagram scraping breaks (it happens whenever Meta updates their frontend), ScraperNode is a community node that handles profiles, posts, reels, and comments without any HTML parsing.
Description
How it works
This workflow listens for new products in Shopify and transforms the product data into polished social media content. It generates captions and hashtags using an AI model, then posts the product to Instagram and Facebook using the Facebook Graph API. It logs every post to Google Sheets and sends a confirmation message to Discord. The flow ensures consistent publishing across all platforms with automated formatting and tracking.
