Automatically like fresh Instagram posts with AI-powered targeting

This Latenode automation template helps social media managers and brands maintain an active and engaged presence on Instagram by automatically liking fresh posts on selected hashtags.

The workflow uses a rotating set of Instagram session cookies, AI-powered hashtag generation, and Phantombuster web scraping to streamline the process, reducing the need for manual intervention. The scheduled trigger runs every 2 hours, selecting a random cookie and generating relevant hashtags to target new posts, then automatically liking them. The solution integrates with Instagram, Phantombuster, Microsoft SharePoint, and OpenAI to provide a comprehensive automation experience.
