Can I Use This for Instagram Giveaways?

Yes. A daily giveaway runs in your Gleam widget, and Instagram is a good way to bring your followers back to it each day.

  1. On the How to Enter tab, add Follow on Instagram.
  2. For actions you want people to repeat, set Entry Interval to Daily. How many times an action can repeat depends on your plan's Repeat Action Limit.
  3. Post the widget link in your bio and stories, and remind followers when each day's draw closes.

Caution

We can't verify Instagram follows, because the handle is whatever the entrant types. Check your winners by hand. Instagram's Promotion Guidelines also need a complete release of Instagram by each entrant and an acknowledgement that Instagram doesn't sponsor or run your giveaway, and you can't ask people to tag themselves in photos they aren't in.

If you'd rather collect entries from comments on a post, importing Instagram comments is on the Business Plan & above.

Can I Add A Follow On Instagram Action?

Yes. You can ask users to follow your Instagram profile. However, the META API is limited, so Gleam can't automatically verify follows. Expand below for how it works and how to set it up.
