About this workflow template
This automation scenario allows you to connect Inoreader and Instapaper
It can be build using Ifttt, a no-code workflow automation tool. Ifttt allows you to create automated scripts using a simple drag-and-drop interface for non-technical users. This is a ready-made scenario, but it can be customized by adding more apps, actions, filters or branches.

How it works?
When this trigger fires in Inoreader
New saved web page in Inoreader
This Trigger will fire every time you save a web page to your Inoreader. Web pages are external articles (not related to RSS feeds) that you can save in your Inoreader for later. They behave just like normal articles and have almost the same properties.
Then this action happens in Instapaper
Save item in Instapaper
This Action will save a new item to Instapaper.
