1. Accessing Pabbly Connect for Instagram Automation

To start automating your Instagram posts, you first need to access Pabbly Connect. Open a new tab and search for paby.com/connect. This will take you to the Pabbly Connect landing page where you have two options: sign in or sign up for free.

If you are a new user, click on the sign-up option to create an account. You will receive 100 free tasks which allow you to set up your automation without any cost. If you’re an existing user, simply sign in and access your dashboard to begin using Pabbly Connect.

2. Creating a Workflow in Pabbly Connect

Once you’re signed in, navigate to the “All Pabbly Apps” section and click on the “Access Now” button for Pabbly Connect. To create a new automation, click on the “Create Workflow” button. Name your workflow; for example, “Gemini Auto Post on Instagram”.

  • Select a folder for your workflow.
  • Identify the trigger and action steps.
  • Set the trigger application to “Scheduled by Pabbly”.

In this step, you will set your trigger to run every day at a specific time. For example, set it to run at 12:00 PM Asia/Kolkata time. This setup ensures that Pabbly Connect executes your workflow automatically every day.

3. Generating Unique Content with Google Gemini

After setting up the trigger, the next step is to generate unique content using Google Gemini. Add an action step where the application is set to Google AI Studio, and the event is “Generate Content”. Click on the “Connect” button to establish the connection.

You will need an API key to connect Google Gemini to Pabbly Connect. To generate the API key, visit the Gemini playground page, create a new key, and copy it into the relevant field in Pabbly Connect. Now, enter the prompt for generating content, such as “You’re a creative social media manager from a premium skincare brand called Natural Blow Skincare.” This prompt will guide Gemini in generating unique Instagram captions.

4. Generating Images and Shortening URLs

Once the caption is generated, you will want to create an image that corresponds with it. Add another action step in Pabbly Connect, selecting Google AI Studio again, but this time the event is “Generate and Edit Images” using Nano Banana. Connect using your existing credentials.

  • Use the prompt to generate a high-quality image based on the caption.
  • Map the caption data from the previous step.

After generating the image, you will need to shorten the long URL using Bitly. Add another action step for Bitly, select the event “Shorten Link”, and connect your Bitly account. Map the image URL from the previous step to shorten it for Instagram compatibility.

5. Posting on Instagram with Pabbly Connect

Finally, to post on Instagram, add an action step for “Instagram for Business” and select the event “Create Upload Publish Photo”. Connect your Instagram account to Pabbly Connect and select the account where you want to post.

Map the shortened URL and the generated caption from the previous steps. Once everything is set, click on the “Save and Send Test Request” button to publish your post. If successful, you will see the post appear on your Instagram account with the unique caption and image generated by Gemini and Nano Banana.

Conclusion

With this tutorial, you can now automate your Instagram posts using Pabbly Connect, Google Gemini, and Bitly. This integration allows you to effortlessly generate unique content daily, streamlining your social media management.
