This automation scenario allows you to connect Instapaper and Buffer
It can be build using Ifttt, a no-code workflow automation tool. Ifttt allows you to create automated bots 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.
Instapaper and Buffer can also be integrated using automation tools other than ifttt:
When this trigger fires in Instapaper
This Trigger fires every time you move an item to the folder you specify.
Then this action happens in Buffer
This Action will add a post to Buffer. If your Buffer is full then the post will be skipped.
This guide contains information on how to set up an automatic workflow that allows to Add Instapaper Folder Items to Your Buffer Queue.
