Instagram feeds

An Instagram feed is a smart feed of Instagram posts. Each post, reel or carousel becomes a feed item with its caption, media and a link to Instagram. Use it to repost your Instagram on other channels, to follow brands in your field, or to collect posts for a hashtag.

Before you start: connect Instagram

Feedigy reads Instagram through Meta’s API. You need an Instagram Business or Creator account that is linked to a Facebook page.

1. Open Generate smart feed and choose Instagram (accounts & hashtags).
2. Select Authenticate and sign in to Facebook.
3. Allow Feedigy to see your pages and the Instagram accounts linked to them.

You can also connect it on the Instagram source channel page. With more than one account, pick the one to use in Instagram account, or select Add new.

Create an Instagram feed

1. Open Content feeds in the sidebar, then Generate smart feed.
2. In Select a source channel, choose Instagram (accounts & hashtags).
3. Pick your Instagram account.
4. Choose My account, Public accounts or Hashtags (see below).
5. Check the posts in Live preview on the right.
6. Select Generate.

My account, public accounts or hashtags

• My account: the recent posts of the connected account.
• Public accounts: type a username, an @handle or an Instagram URL into Business or Creator usernames and press Enter. Feedigy checks each account. Only public Business and Creator accounts work; personal accounts cannot be read.
• Hashtags: type a hashtag without the # and press Enter.

You can add up to 10 accounts or hashtags. Each one becomes its own feed.

Meta allows 30 different hashtags per Instagram account in 7 days. The form shows how many you have used this week.

Advanced mode

• Media order: for hashtags only. Recent media (the default) or Top media.
• Media type filter: All media, Reels only, Photos only, Videos only or Carousels only.
• Tags: tags for the new feeds. Instagram is added for you. See Tags.

After you generate

The new feeds appear on the Content Feeds page with the Smart type. Feedigy refreshes an Instagram feed at most every 30 minutes, when the feed is read. To share the posts on your other channels, add the feed to an Auto-Publisher.
