Turn event photos into an Instagram carousel automatically

Takes a batch of event photos and automatically publishes them as one Instagram carousel post with a caption.

How the work actually flows

It branches. Every path runs; all paths must finish before it continues; runs once per each event photo.

The problem it solves

After an event, you have a folder full of photos and no time to pick the best ones, upload them, write a caption, and post a carousel to Instagram. That work usually gets pushed off for days, so the recap loses its moment.

Who it fits

An event organizer, photographer, or marketing team that wants event photos on Instagram right after the event, without manual uploading.

How it works

  1. You send in the event photos and details right after the event
  2. Each photo is downloaded and uploaded to get a shareable link
  3. A caption is built from the event details
  4. The photos are assembled in order into a single carousel post
  5. The finished carousel is published to Instagram
What you get

Event photos live on Instagram same day

Your event photos become a polished Instagram carousel with a caption ready to share right after the event ends.

What you get

A published Instagram carousel post with all your event photos in order and a written caption.

What you need

An Instagram business account with API access.

We can build this. But should you?

The hard question is not how to build it. It is whether this is the right thing to build first.
