Trouble with Instagram Template

Posted on by MichaelRensing

I am looking to collect some data from Instagram. I saw that there are some Templates that Microsoft provides to start working with Instagram. I selected one that will save images to OneDrive, opened it and tried to configure the connectors. I have OneDrive connected to my account. However I am running into a problem connecting to Instagram. The popup window is giving me the following error message.

{"error_type": "OAuthException", "code": 400, "error_message": "Invalid platform app"}

Does this Template no longer work with Instagram? Is there any way around this error authenticating?

Hi @MichaelRensing ,

To the best of my knowledge there isn't a connector that works with Insta. I am using Power Automate Desktop to posting, capture data through the browser. Please mark as a solution if this is helpful! Always glad to help! Tom

Hi @trice602
What happens when you try to login to an instagram account using the authenticator?
I get the same error as many others and dont know how to get around it.
Its from the template:
Save comments on Instagram posts to Google Sheets after one day | Power Automate

Hi @WhatIsThisIs ,

To the best of my knowledge, this connector (the connectors to Meta) no longer work. I am currently using Power Automate Desktop to manage posts for fb and insta.

Please mark as a solution to help others find this FAQ.
