Most powerful ways to connect Kintone and Instagram for Business
Instagram for Business + Kintone + Slack: When new media is posted to an Instagram for Business account, the automation retrieves the associated product details from Kintone using information derived from the Instagram post. It then sends a message to a specified Slack channel containing the Instagram media and a link to the product details in Kintone.
Instagram for Business + Kintone + Google Sheets: This flow tracks Instagram ad performance by logging data into Google Sheets. When new media is posted to Instagram, its insights are collected.
