Node reference

Overview

Instagram Get Media is a Step (action) in Tags. Fetches published Instagram media by ID (caption, permalink, media type).

When the flow reaches this step, JOrchestrator executes Instagram Get Media against your linked site or an external integration, using the field values you set on General and Design. Downstream steps can read the output payload fields defined for this node.

Why use this node

Instagram Get Media is a action step in the Tags group. Action steps run in the middle or end of a flow. They perform work on your CMS, call external services, or transform data for the next step.

Typical reasons teams add Instagram Get Media to a flow:

  • Automate "Instagram Get Media" as part of a larger Joomla or WordPress workflow
  • Replace manual tags work with a repeatable, logged flow step
  • Chain with triggers, logic, and messaging nodes on the same canvas

Example workflows

Common patterns on the canvas:

  1. Trigger or Webhook → upstream steps → Instagram Get Media → Send Email or CMS update
  2. Scheduled trigger → Instagram Get Media → Debug (while testing) → production action

How to set it up

Media ID from {{instagram_post.mediaId}} or a literal media ID.

Good to know

Requires instagram_basic scope on the access token.

Properties panel

The designer shows these tabs for this node:

DesignNode-specific configuration fields

System (automatic — not edited by the user)

These fields are managed by the designer or runtime — you do not type into them directly:

CMS site configuration (not on this node's properties panel)

Credentials, API keys, mailers, SMTP, and integration defaults are configured in the CMS plugin under Node Configuration, not per step on this node. Link the flow to a domain before testing CMS-backed fields.

Output payload fields

After this step runs, later nodes can reference these fields using placeholders such as {{instagram_get_media.success}}.

Field keyTypeDescription
successbooleanWhether the operation completed successfully.
mediaIdstringText value from this node's output.
captionstringText value from this node's output.
mediaTypestringText value from this node's output.

permalinkstringText value from this node's output.
timestampstringText value from this node's output.

Validation rules

  • Media ID (mediaId) must be filled before the flow can be saved.
