In this section, we will look at how you can integrate Instagram with Discord and automatically share your Instagram posts on the Discord channel.
This automation requires a one-time setup, for which we will use Pabbly Connect.
We will first link Instagram with Pabbly Connect to capture the uploaded posts, then link Pabbly Connect with Discord and share the posts on a Discord channel.
Steps to Automatically Share Instagram Posts on Discord Channel
1. Sign In / Sign Up to Pabbly Connect and Create a Workflow
2. Establish a Connection between Instagram and Pabbly Connect
3. Setup Discord as the Action App to Send Channel Messages
Step 1:- Sign In / Sign Up to Pabbly Connect and Create a Workflow
A. Sign In / Sign Up

B. Create Workflow
To create a new workflow, click the ‘Create Workflow’ button.
Name your workflow, and click on ‘Create’.
Step 2:- Establish a Connection between Instagram and Pabbly Connect
We will now look at the steps through which we will establish a link between Instagram and Pabbly Connect. This will help us capture details of the newly uploaded posts.
A. Trigger App
Trigger allows us to choose the application that will receive the data for Pabbly Connect. In our case, it would be Instagram.
Choose ‘Instagram’ as the Trigger App, select ‘New Media Posted in My Account’, and click on ‘Connect’.
B. Connect Instagram Account
To connect with your Instagram account, select ‘Add New Connection’ and click on ‘Connect With Instagram’. Also, grant the authorization.
Select the Instagram Account from where you want to capture the posts, and click on ‘Save & Send Test Request’.
Expand Response Receive, and the details of your latest post must be visible, thus confirming the established connection.
Step 3:- Setup Discord as the Action App to Send Channel Messages
Action allows us to choose the application that will get executed by the workflow trigger.
We essentially want to send Instagram posts to the Discord channel. Therefore, Discord will be our Action App.
A. Action App
Choose ‘Discord’ as the Action App, select ‘Send Channel Message (Markdown)’ as an Action Event, and click on ‘Connect’.
B. Connect Discord Account
To connect with your Discord account, you need a Webhook URL. Follow these steps to generate the Webhook URL, copy the Webhook URL and paste it into its given field – This will establish a connection between Discord and Pabby Connect.
C. Map Necessary Details
Now that you have connected your Discord account, all you need is to map the necessary details from the step above. Mapping ensures our data remains dynamic and changes as per the received responses.
Compose a Message by mapping the details from the step above.
Similarly, map the other fields, leaving the unnecessary ones empty, and click on ‘Save & Send Test Request’.
The moment you click on Save & Send Test Request, a link to the Instagram post will be shared on the Discord channel.
Note: Pabbly Connect checks for the data from Instagram every 10 minutes, so any new post may not be shared immediately.
Our automation is complete. We have successfully integrated Instagram with Discord. Each time you make a new Instagram post, it will automatically be shared on the Discord Channel of your choice.
You can copy this entire workflow by clicking this link.
