Did you replace the node id here?

Or you can try to use me if you want to post as yourself.

Oh I see the error message about 17841475413816161

Looks like this node is not having the permission to post.

Hi there! Welcome to community.

Lemme help you.

First, I’m sorry that my screenshot is in Indonesia language, but it doesn’t matter

1. Copy the app id (Mine use english, u can copy the number beside ‘ID Aplikasi’/‘App Id’

2. Put in App ID Fields

3. Copy the secret key in Instagram App (In this image it’s named ‘Rahasia Aplikasi Instagram’)

4. Paste it to your credentials

5. Last one, go to Graph API Explorer - Meta untuk Developer

Add some permission (mine instagram related)

Choose ‘Dapatkan Token Aplikasi’, in english is ‘Get App Token’

Copy the token field to n8n Access Token.

i set the access token and added permissions as expected. i keep getting same error after also trying to set to me.

[RA1]

n8n is only requesting for access token no app secret

[cutecatcode]

I guess you are using user token and insert it to Access Token field, what I suggest is you need to use App token instead user token

[RA1]

Here is the issue i am facing when i try to add the generated App token, i have tried it before same error.

Do not worry with that error, that’s fine when you use Facebook graph api. Just try to connect
