What you need
- Self-hosted n8n with the n8n-nodes-bundlesocial node
- A Google Drive credential in n8n
- An Instagram business or creator account connected to a bundle.social team
- Works on the Free plan (20 posts a month)
How the workflow works
Each step is a node in the workflow, under the same name.
- 01
New file in Drive folder
The Google Drive Trigger checks the folder you pick every minute and passes on each file created since the last check. - 02
Only videos
An IF node keeps files whose MIME type starts with video/ and drops everything else, so a stray PDF never reaches Instagram. - 03
Download file
Google Drive downloads the file into the binary field data. - 04
Upload to bundle.social
Upload Large File sends the video to bundle.social storage, up to 5 GB, and returns an upload id. - 05
Create post
The bundle.social node creates an Instagram post of type REEL with the upload and the file name as the caption, scheduled for now so it goes out right away.
Set it up
Credentials and troubleshooting are on the n8n integration page.
- On self-hosted n8n, open Settings > Community Nodes, install n8n-nodes-bundlesocial, and accept the notice.
- Download the workflow file and import it with Workflows > Import from File.
- Add a bundle.social API credential with a key from bundle.social > Organization > API Keys.
- Add a Google Drive credential and pick the folder to watch in New file in Drive folder.
- In Create post, pick the team that has the Instagram account connected.
- Activate the workflow, then drop a file into the folder to test it.
Before you rely on it
- Instagram decides whether the video is accepted as a Reel: check its length and aspect ratio before you rely on the workflow.
- Rename files before you drop them in the folder; the name without its extension becomes the caption.
