Upcoming Changes to Instagram Actions

On November 17th, Instagram made changes to their API Policy to disallow direct incentivization of actions in 3rd party apps.

From 1st June the Instagram Follow action and Instagram Like action will no longer be available inside Gleam.

  • Instagram Follow will be replaced with an Instagram Visit action
  • If you have existing Follow actions in your campaign they will automatically be updated to Visit actions
  • If you have existing Like actions in your campaign they will automatically be updated to View actions

We have recently been approved by Pinterest to directly use their API, this means we need to ensure our actions are compliant with their policies.

From 1st June the Pinterest Follow action, Pin Image and Pin from Board actions will no longer be available inside Gleam.

  • Pinterest Follow will be replaced with a Pinterest Visit action
  • Pinterest Pin actions will be removed, this option will be available via the Viral Share action now
  • There will be 4 new actions introduced: Pinterest Entry, Visit on Pinterest, Select a Pin, Create a Board

We understand how important it is to bring attention to your crowdfunding campaigns when using Gleam. Up until now many businesses have been using our Visit action to send users there.
