Turn a Public Source Into an Instagram Story

This recipe turns a public source URL into a compact vertical Story draft. It is useful when the source already contains the campaign facts and the creative team needs a repeatable hook, proof, and CTA structure.

Input contract

Use a public http or https page with a clear title, summary, at least one usable image, and an explicit destination. The published fixture shape is https://example.com/articles/spring-campaign; it documents the expected input shape and is not presented as a live customer source.

Run the workflow

  1. Open the Instagram Story workflow.
  2. Paste a public source URL and confirm that the preview identifies the intended topic and media.
  3. Review the extracted hook, proof point, and destination before continuing to the authenticated runner.
  4. Start the run, inspect the vertical draft, and verify platform-safe text before publishing.

What to review

  • the opening frame communicates one idea quickly;
  • extracted claims still match the source page;
  • images and logos are licensed for the intended channel;
  • the last frame has a readable CTA and destination.

The catalog estimate is 1 credit for the published preset default. Actual output and cost can change with source media, current preset definitions, and render settings.

Failure modes and variation

If the source has no usable image, switch to an approved brand asset or use the manual template flow. If the source is too long, extract one campaign angle rather than compressing every detail into the Story. For a prompt-first approach, use the Instagram Reel generator.
