[NOTE: Panoramiq will only work with Business Instagram Accounts. This is a requirement that Instagram makes, and is the only way in which we can access their APIs on your behalf.]
Getting Started
Panoramiq Multiview is a Hootsuite app that allows you to easily keep track and interact with comments, mentions and photo-tags on Instagram.
Login and Authentication with Facebook.
Before you can start using Multiview, you must authorize Multiview to access your Instagram account. After you have added the app to a stream in your Hootsuite dashboard, simply click the Login with Facebook button to get started:
After you have authenticated on Facebook, a popup will be displayed asking you to select the Instagram accounts you would like to use:
Click the plus sign to the right of the account you would like to use. Once you have selected the accounts you would like to view activity from, click the Done button, and the popup will be closed. The Hootsuite stream will initially be empty. As new mentions, comments and photo-tags are found, they will be displayed in stream.
If you would like to add or remove accounts after your initial selections, simply click the Manage Instagram Accounts button in the app's setting menu.
