Describe the problem/error/question
I’m attempting to setup a very basic workflow (or any workflow really) using Instagram- submitting a post on my account. I have done the steps below, however I am still not able to get a working Credential in n8n- I always get a “Bad Request” error, which hasn’t been enough to work off of to debug.
I’ve already reviewed this docs page from n8n covering Facebook. My app is not live and I’m not using webhooks- I’m just trying to use my account as a test user to test things for my workflow. I’ve found multiple youtube videos of people running Instagram workflows in n8n while their app is not live, so I don’t believe that should be a problem.
- I’ve created a Meta Developers account with my FB account
- I’ve created an App
- I’ve ensured my Instagram account is a Professionals account for Business
- I’ve done the initial configuration to connect my Instagram account as a test user and authenticated it:
- I’ve clicked “Generate Token” and went through the process to get my access token.
- In n8n, I try creating a new Credential for the Facebook Graph API node, however I get the following:
What is the error message (if any)?
“Couldn’t connect with these settings Bad Request”
Please share your workflow
I don’t really have a workflow to share as I haven’t even made it to that step- I’m still stuck on creating a working Credential.
Share the output returned by the last node
See previous.
