If you're a merchant using Shopify or Shopify Plus, refer to our Creating an Instagram Follow Earning Rule on Shopify or Shopify Plus article.
Please note:
The earning rule action cannot be confirmed on Instagram due to API limitations on the social network’s side. This means that the customer will receive a reward as soon as they are redirected to the social media, even if they did not go through with the follow action.
