Do I need a Business or Creator Instagram account?

Yes. Instagram's API only provides access to posts and follower data for Business and Creator accounts. Personal accounts are not supported by the API, so you will need to switch your account type in the Instagram app before connecting.

How many posts can the Latest Post block show?

You can configure the block to display between 1 and 10 of your most recent posts. Single-post mode works well as a featured piece of content; multi-post mode gives visitors a scrollable grid preview of your feed.

Does my follower count update automatically?

Yes. The Follower Count block refreshes your Instagram follower count approximately once a minute, so it stays accurate without any manual updates needed.

Can Linky post to my Instagram on my behalf?

No. The connection is strictly read-only. Linky can display your existing posts and follower count but has no ability to create posts, send messages, or modify anything on your Instagram account.

What your Instagram blocks show

Linky offers two Instagram blocks you can mix and match. The Latest Post block embeds your most recent Instagram post directly on your link page - you can show anywhere from one to ten recent posts depending on how much visual space you want to give your feed. The Follower Count block shows your up-to-date follower number, which is a strong social-proof signal for brands and creators negotiating sponsorship deals.

How to connect Instagram to your Linky page

Because Instagram's API requires an official account type, you will need a Business or Creator account (not a personal account) to use these blocks. In the Linky editor, add a "Latest Post" or "Follower Count" block, then follow the OAuth flow to connect your Instagram account. The connection is read-only - Linky can read your posts and profile but cannot post, message, or modify your account. Once connected, both blocks refresh automatically about once a minute so your page stays current.

Why Instagram integration matters for creators

Instagram is typically where creators have the most visual content, yet the platform only allows one external link. Bringing your Instagram feed to your link page lets you showcase that visual work to anyone who finds you from a podcast, YouTube channel, or email list - audiences who may not follow you on Instagram yet. Displaying your follower count alongside your content adds the credibility signal that helps convert casual visitors into followers.

Combine with other blocks for a complete landing page

Pair the Latest Post block with a Link Box that sends visitors to your full Instagram profile for maximum conversion. If you sell products, add a Link Bar beneath the posts to route people to your shop. The Follower Count block works well in a Header or alongside a testimonial-style content block to establish credibility before visitors click any links.
