How Does Storrito Integrate With Instagram?
Regrettably, Instagram (or rather Meta, the company behind Instagram) does not offer story posting via its API yet. The same is true for many other important Instagram features at this time.
Nevertheless, automating social media tasks is essential for most businesses to save on costs and improve efficiency. Without automation, businesses may need to pay staff to handle posts during off-hours, which can be costly and may decrease employee satisfaction. Instagram stories add even more work, as they can’t easily be prepared in advance.
Until Instagram offers story posting through its API, Storrito and similar services have had to use alternative technical methods to enable automated story posting for Instagram.
Instagram Stories are technically complex, as they include a variety of interactive elements like mentions, hashtags, question sliders, polls, music stickers, and more. The Storrito team works hard to keep up with the latest Instagram stickers and features, re-creating each in our story editor to support automated posts. It’s uncertain whether Instagram will ever make all story features available through its API, which would require other companies to invest in creating complex editors like Storrito has already done.
Storrito connects to Instagram using your username and password, automating the Instagram Android app to post stories. This approach is as safe as using the official Instagram Android app, and your account is not put at risk. Here’s how we keep your data secure:
Encrypted Credentials: Your Instagram login information is encrypted to maximize security.
Instagram’s Security Measures: Instagram itself has robust security layers to protect your account (which is also the reason it is sometimes challenging to connect your account to Storrito).
2-Factor Authentication: We recommend enabling Instagram’s two-factor authentication, which Storrito also supports.
You can disconnect Storrito from your Instagram account at any time by simply changing your Instagram password.
Storrito’s integration allows companies to automate their stories efficiently while maintaining account security, giving teams a reliable solution to keep social media posting streamlined and hassle-free.
