Can I Import Media From Hashtags?
Yes! Import Actions pull posts that use your #hashtags straight into your Competition, so entrants post on their own account and never have to upload through the widget.
Competitions can import hashtag posts from:
- Open the How to Enter tab, click Add a Way to Enter and pick the Import Action for your platform.
- For Instagram, connect the Instagram Business account that runs the import.
- Enter your #hashtags. Require all only imports posts that use every one, which cuts out unrelated posts.
- Set the Entry Interval. Single imports one post per person.
Instagram doesn't share usernames for #hashtag posts, so those entries come in anonymous. To see who posted, use Instagram Mentions with a #hashtag filter instead.
Combine an Import Action with other entry methods, like subscribing to your newsletter or visiting your website, to give entrants more ways to enter.
To show the posts rather than collect entries, a Gallery can import hashtag posts from Instagram, X, YouTube and Tumblr.
