How this automation works

Save new Instagram photos to Visualizer Coffee as archived shots. This Applet runs whenever you post a new photo on Instagram and provides the post's image URL so you can upload it into Visualizer Coffee. It's useful for coffee bloggers, roasters, or baristas who want to keep Instagram images alongside brew profiles and tags in Visualizer Coffee for review and sharing.
