InvalidWorkLink

Error message

InvalidWorkLink

What it means

getLinkInfo could not obtain both an Instagram shortcode from the link and a dataId. parseInstagramShortCode returned null/empty or input.dataId was missing, so the link isn't a usable Instagram work reference.

Solutions

1. Verify input.dataId is populated for the work being refreshed
2. Ensure the pasted link is a canonical instagram.com/p/<shortcode>/ or /reel/<shortcode>/ URL
3. Extend parseInstagramShortCode to accept the URL format users are pasting
4. Log input.link and parsed result to diagnose which of the two checks failed

const IG_RE = /instagram\.com\/(?:p|reel|reels|tv)\/([A-Za-z0-9_-]+)/
const match = input.link?.match(IG_RE)
if (!match || !input.dataId) {
  throw new Error('Need an instagram.com/p|reel/<shortcode> URL and a dataId')
}

function isInstagramWorkInput(i: { link?: string; dataId?: string }): i is { link: string; dataId: string } {
  return typeof i.link === 'string' && /instagram\.com\/(p|reel|tv)\/[A-Za-z0-9_-]+/.test(i.link) && typeof i.dataId === 'string' && i.dataId.length > 0
}

When it happens

Trigger: Calling getLinkInfo with input.link that doesn't match an Instagram post/reel URL (no /p/<code>/ or /reel/<code>/ segment), or with a valid link but input.dataId undefined.

Common situations: Users paste profile or story URLs; the shortcode regex misses new formats (e.g. /share/reel/ links); caller forgot to supply dataId when the work record was created.
