When clicking on: "Connect a source", two option will appear: Basic & Advanced. We will focus only on Basic
The basic method will give you a link to connect your Instagram account to the Behold platform.
After connecting your account, we can create our feed!
Creating our Feed
Feeds can come from either User or Hashtag sources. In most scenarios, opting for User will be the preferred choice.
After selecting user, you'll have to click the source we have setup earlier.
Behold offers three ways you can setup your Instagram feed: Widget, JSON & Klaviyo To keep things simple, we will focus on the Widget.
After creating our feed, you can finetune various options such as type, colors,...
By clicking on Embed Code you can copy the code we can use in our project.
Using in SiteManager Project
In your SiteManager we have a component: Plugin Banner, that we can use for external scripts such as the one we got from Behold.
After adding the script to the Plugin Banner. You'll see your Instagram Feed in action!
