Heads up that the IG Link has a caveat

I signed up for Metricool because of the analytics, but more importantly because of the excellent Instagram link page. I was excited to see that Metricool is in the works to get IG autopost approval, but figured that I would keep my Planoly account for the time being and then add links to my mtr.bio page once Planoly sent the post.

Unfortunately, I've found out that the feed on the IG link will not refresh on its own and add new content unless you put it into their Planning calendar first, so if you use something else to autopost (like Planoly or Later) IG content, the IG link page is effectively useless.

It's a real shame and it seems like this would be something that shouldn't be dependent on scheduling posts via their Planning tool (which, again, cannot yet post directly to Instagram so means an extra step). So just heads up for those who thought they could have the best of both worlds while waiting for Metricool to get approval from FB/IG, your Instagram link page isn't going to work as planned.

Hello Sumo-ling

The link in the Instagram biography has a specific page where all the photos that your feed has appear, regardless of the publication tool you have used. Once you access that page, you can select the photo you prefer from your feed or include any other and add a link to it, even create a button instead of using the photos.

Thanks for the comment
