Hi Bikramjit,

There is not Instagram integration in any version of hybris. You'll have to handle that with a customisation to a fetch service and a storefront component.

Depending on your integration needs, you'll want to ensure that you curate the feed that appears on the website. If it's for a product, your new collaboration with Adidas #BikramjitBoost, the posts you display will need to be curated, as there will be spam, offers of knock offs, images your brand would not like to be associated with and negative reviews.

If it's just to embed a post on a storefront page, you can just put the embed code in the WYSIWYG editor's source view.

Regards,

Hi Luke, for me it's just to embed a post on a storefront page from my Instagram feed, as mentioned by you I can just put the embed code. but can you tell me a bit more details of it what we mean here by the embedded code? how can I implement it..

Open an Instagram Post in a Desktop Web Browser, for example This One. Click the three dots ... on the bottom-right of the frame and select "Embed". Then Copy and Paste the code in to the hybris source editor.

Dear Luke,

thank you for your input. but what if I just want to show all the posts under my instagram account as part of the site.

thanks

Before you even try that, ensure that you have a wireframe of what you are trying to achieve and get approval for this business case, because it sounds horrendous, redundant and not a feature that anyone would want.

Custom Storefront Component that uses the Read API of Instagram, of one of the Insta-clone sites.
