Ask HN: How to share from Pinterest to Instagram

1 points by aapje ↗ HN
Is there a way to share pins on Instagram? Our company has an active Pinterest account and wants to share those pins to our Instagram account. I can't seem to find anything that does this. The ones I found would share Instagram posts to Pinterest but we want it the other way around.

Maybe some IFTTT setup could do this for you.

Thank you for the suggestion. I now managed to get our Pinterest feed to IFTTT through RSS. But Instagram has no possible Actions in IFTTT. Only Triggers. Now what? I'm determined to get this working!

Maybe go to the source before anything else, maybe they still dont allow it, then you'd need to write your own script to do it I guess.

At this moment, tons of apps allow photos to be posted to Instagram. Think of all the photo-editing and filter apps. They all have a share to Instagram function.
