FAQ

Questions about Gmail + Instagram.

How long does it take to connect Gmail and Instagram on TinyCommand?
Under two minutes. Authorize Gmail and Instagram once each, drop the Gmail trigger and Instagram action onto a workflow canvas, map a couple of fields, and publish. No code, no glue.
Is the Gmail ↔ Instagram integration real-time?
Yes. Both Gmail and Instagram expose webhooks, so events from one fire workflows in the other within seconds rather than on a polling interval.
Can I filter or transform data between Gmail and Instagram?
Yes. Add a Filter node to only pass through matching events, a Switch node to branch by value, or an AI / Code node to transform payloads before they hit Instagram.
What Gmail events can trigger a Instagram workflow?
Any of the 1 Gmail triggers, including "New Email". Each fires in real time when the matching event happens in Gmail.
Do I need a paid plan to use Gmail with Instagram?
No. There's a free tier that covers most Gmail+Instagram use cases without a credit card. Paid plans unlock higher run volumes and team features when you outgrow it.
What if I want Instagram → Gmail instead?
Build it the same way, in reverse. There's a dedicated /integrations/instagram/with/google-gmail page with the reverse-direction triggers and actions.
