Instagram Stories and Mentions
Description
If you want to check who mentioned you in an Instagram Story, Improvado's Instagram Stories and Mentions connector runs the instagram story mention check for you: it pulls the number of people who have viewed a specific Instagram Story and the number of people who have seen your Instagram profile through Instagram Mentions into one report, so you get a running instagram mention checker instead of scrolling notifications by hand.
How do I check Instagram story mentions? Connect your Instagram Professional Account to the Instagram Stories and Mentions data source in Improvado - once it is active, it acts as an instagram story mention checker and an instagram mention check across every tagged Story and post, feeding the results straight into your marketing reports.
Because the connection stays live, each story mention check becomes a story mention checker you can schedule instead of repeating it manually.
