Workflow name
Auto-like Instagram posts from chosen profiles with Phantombuster + SharePoint

Who’s it for

Social-media managers, growth hackers, and brands who want to keep their Instagram accounts active by auto-liking posts from specific profiles they track—without scrolling feeds manually.

How it works / What it does

  1. Schedule Trigger runs every 2 h.
  2. Profile Post Extractor pulls up to 20 recent posts from each Instagram profile in your CSV.
  3. Select Cookie rotates Instagram session-cookies.
  4. Get Random Post picks one and checks against instagram_posts_already_liked.csv.
  5. Builds instagram_posts_to_like.csv, uploads to SharePoint.
  6. Phantombuster Autolike Agent likes the post.
  7. Liked URLs are appended to prevent duplicates.
  8. Wait nodes throttle activity (~12 likes/profile/day).

How to set up

  1. Add credentials: Phantombuster API, SharePoint OAuth2.
  2. In SharePoint › “Phantombuster” folder create:
    instagram_session_cookies.txt (one per line).
    instagram_posts_already_liked.csv (header postUrl).
    profiles_instagram.csv with profile URLs.
  3. Adjust schedule if needed.
  4. Activate the workflow—likes will run automatically.

Requirements

  • n8n 1.33+
  • Phantombuster Growth plan
  • Microsoft 365 SharePoint tenant

How to customize

  • Add/remove tracked profiles in profiles_instagram.csv.
  • Adjust throttle by changing Wait intervals.
  • Swap SharePoint for Google Drive/Dropbox if needed.
