Automate Instagram engagement with Phantombuster and SharePoint

This automation workflow helps social media managers, growth hackers, and brands keep their Instagram accounts active by automatically liking posts from a set of predefined profiles.

The workflow retrieves recent posts, checks against a list of previously liked posts, and then uses the Phantombuster service to automatically like a random post. The automation integrates with Instagram, Phantombuster, and Microsoft SharePoint to store interaction data and profile details. It runs on a schedule, retrieving up to 20 recent posts from each tracked profile every 2 hours.
