Zapier Automation Examples Using RSS, Facebook, Instagram, and Google Business GMB

Zapier is an excellent resource for automation! In this example, I show you how you can automate posts to your Google Business (formerly Google My Business or GMB) from your social media assets like Facebook, an RSS feed, or Instagram.

Hey Kim, can you instruct me on how to link the RSS from my blog to an Instagram business account? I tried but Zapier asks for some really complex API stuff that I don't understand...

Zapier is a great tool for automation, but I don't use it for my social media. I use a different tool. I'll make a video showing that one. The pitfall with automation tools like Zapier is that some knowledge of API is necessary. I can usually test my way into figuring out the connections, but sometimes you have to dive into the actual API documentation. I can do a LOT of advanced things with Zapier, but not with social media. It's pretty straight forward and other tools are better for scheduling and posting. The only disadvantage to other tools is that pretty much all of them require a paid plan to use RSS. I can try to test my way with Zapier, but it might take some time. Now you have me thinking about it...I'll play around and see if I can get Zapier to work. Then, I'll do a video for both Zapier and the other tool I use. Thanks for the question! I like playing with this stuff, and I LOVE hearing when others are trying to do this, too.
