Getting Started

Using the embed component for Pages you can display an Instagram post from your account.

(A whole feed cannot be displayed as Instagram policy does not allow this; to get multiple posts on an Intranet page you will need to use multiple embed components)

Please note: The account must be public in order to display the image in the component. If the account is private only a link to Instagram will display. When followed it will ask you to log in.

Steps to follow:

• Navigate to the URL of the Instagram post you wish to embed on your page. 
  • Click on "More" (3 small dots on bottom right hand side of the post) as shown in Image 1.

Image 1 - The "More" button is highlighted on the bottom right of the post.

• A pop up list will appear as shown in Image 2.
  • Select "Embed" from this.

Image 2 - "More" menu pop up with various options

• As shown in Image 3, another pop up will appear with the code you need.
  • Copy this code and navigate to the page on your Claromentis site you wish to display it on.
  • You can deselect the "Include caption" check box if you dont wish for the post's caption to be seen on your page once embedded.

• Click on the pencil icon to begin editing your page.
• The options on your screen should be similar to that of Image 4.
• Click in any empty space on the page and choose the "Embed" icon from the pop up list of Applications.
  • You can resize the tile to make the post bigger, smaller or fit on your page around other content.
