You can display an animated image gallery with the most recent images from your Instagram account.
Follow these steps to include the Instagram widget in your ad:
Before you start
- Create an In-Banner Video creative, an In-Stream Video creative, or a Rich Media creative. For steps, see Assembling a creative from a template or Assembling a creative from scratch.
- You must have an Instagram account.
To register for an Instagram ID
- Log in to the Instagram Authorization Page. A screen is displayed, asking you to authorize Mixpo to access basic information.
- Click Authorize. The Instagram token generator is displayed.
- Copy the values and send them to your Client Service Manager. Your Client Service Manager will send you an Instagram ID.
To add an Instagram widget to a creative
- Navigate to the Division, Account, and Campaign of the creative.
- Click the Campaign Management tab, then click the Creatives tab.
- Click Edit for the creative. The Mixpo Studio opens.
- Add the widget to your creative:
- Select the canvas tab that you want to add the widget to.
- Click the Overlays tab, then click Widget.
- Click Our stock library.
- Select the Instagram widget, then click Add media. The widget is added to your creative.
- Select the Instagram widget. In the settings area, new widget options appear.
- In the Overlay name field, type a name for the widget. The name is displayed in reports about the widget.
- In the Instagram ID field, type your Instagram ID. To register for an Instagram ID, see To register for an Instagram ID.
- To change the size of the widget, click and drag the sizing handles on the corners of the widget.
Note: To make sure that the live ad is optimized for mobile devices, the widget should be at least 44 × 44 pixels, so that it is big enough for viewers to tap. If you added the widget to the Timeline Canvas tab, leave at least 44 pixels between the widget and the bottom of the creative, so that viewers can tap the video player controls. - Adjust how images are displayed by setting the image Transition, Seconds between image switches, and the Number of images.
- If you added the widget to the Timeline Canvas tab, specify how you want the widget to appear in your video sequence. Do the following:
- From the Enter and Exit drop-down lists, select the entrance and exit animation effects.
- In the Duration field, type the number of seconds that you want the widget to appear for.
- In the Start time field, type the number of seconds into the video that you want the widget to appear.
- Click Save.
- To test that the creative appears the way that you want it to, return to the Mixpo Platform and click Preview.
