Bardeen's workflow automation helps businesses harness the power of their online presence by integrating Airtable with Instagram, creating a seamless data sourcing and research operation.

  • Step 1: Retrieve Airtable records - The workflow begins by extracting all the values from a specified Airtable table which contains a list of Instagram profile links.
  • Step 2: Extract profile links - It then isolates the specific column that contains the Instagram profile links from the records obtained previously.
  • Step 3: Identify Instagram URLs - This step involves finding all the Instagram profile URLs from the extracted column content.
  • Step 4: Scrape Instagram profiles - Using the Scraper integration, the workflow scrapes data from the Instagram profiles in the background, gathering detailed profile information.
  • Step 5: Update Airtable records - Finally, the extracted profile data is used to update the records in the original Airtable table, ensuring your dataset is current and comprehensive.
