Automate Lightroom Cloud to Instagram

Create a reusable “photos to post” queue from your Lightroom Cloud album—ideal for Lightroom-to-Instagram automation with n8n. It discovers new photos, stores clean metadata in a Data Table, and generates AI alt text to power on-brand captions and accessibility. Use it together with “Lightroom Image Webhook (Direct JPEG for Instagram)” and “Instagram Auto-Publisher for Lightroom Photos (AI Captions).”

What it’s for

Automate Lightroom to Instagram; centralize photo data for scheduled IG posting; prep AI-ready alt text and metadata for consistent, hands-free publishing.

Parameters to set

Lightroom Cloud credentials (client/app + API key) Album/collection ID to monitor in Lightroom Cloud Data Table name for the posting queue (e.g., Photos) AI settings: language/tone for alt text (concise, brand-aware) Image analysis URL: public endpoint of Workflow 2 (Lightroom Image Webhook)

Works best with

Workflow 2: Lightroom Image Webhook (Direct JPEG for Instagram)

Workflow 3: Instagram Auto-Publisher for Lightroom Photos (AI Captions)
