How it works / What it does

This n8n automation completely transforms how you collect Instagram leads using AI and API integrations.

Here’s a simple breakdown of how it works:

- Set your targeting parameters using the Edit Fields node. You can specify your platform (Instagram), field of interest such as “beauty & hair,” and target country like “USA.”

- Generate intelligent search queries with an AI Agent powered by GPT-4o-mini. It automatically creates optimized Google search queries to find relevant Instagram profiles in your chosen niche and location.

- Extract results from Google using Apify’s Google Search Scraper, which collects hundreds of Instagram profile URLs that match your search criteria.

- Fetch detailed Instagram profile data using Apify’s Instagram Scraper. This includes usernames, follower counts, and profile bios where contact information usually appears.
