Send Instagram Statistics To Mattermost

Who is this for?

Social media managers handling a daily follower sheet for 3 channels need this Mattermost Instagram-statistics workflow that posts on its daily schedule each morning. This copy is pre-tested for first-try import, keeps the Sheets audit log and Slack alerts wired, and leaves a 10-minute review in-channel.

What problem does this solve?

Opening Google Sheets for follower counts, drafting the update in Mattermost, and logging the send in Google Sheets takes ~15 min per post by hand. On schedule this workflow reads the sheet, builds the formatted update, and posts to Mattermost with audit logging. You just scan the channel.

What this workflow does

1. Mattermost (Mattermost)
2. Read data on Google Sheets (Google Sheets)
3. Google Sheets - Audit Log (Google Sheets)
4. Slack - Error Alerts (Slack)
- Includes Daniel Grey pack: Slack - Error Alerts, Google Sheets - Audit Log, Wait - Rate Limit, Set - Audit Trail (all wired).

How it works

A schedule kicks it off automatically → Get the date today, Date & Time, Read data on Google Sheets, ending in Mattermost.

Setup

1. Open danielgrey.shop/app/templates/dg-0037 → Copy JSON → n8n → Import from Clipboard (or Push to n8n)
2. Connect credentials: Google Sheets, Mattermost, Slack
3. Check the schedule timing, run once manually to verify, then activate.
