Frequently asked questions

What metrics are available on the Overview page of the Instagram Looker Studio Report?
The Overview page displays key metrics including total followers, Reels plays, likes, shares, and saves as scorecards. It also includes a line chart for new followers over the past 30 days, a Reach Funnel chart showing impressions to new followers, and a Reach vs. New Followers bar and line chart for monthly comparisons.
Why might my Instagram data be delayed in the report?
Due to limitations of the Instagram API being used, metric data may have a delay of up to 48 hours during retrieval. This affects the timeliness of metrics in the New Followers Last 30 days chart and other time-sensitive visualizations.
How can I filter posts by content type in the Posts page?
The Posts page includes a Media Product Type Filter for content types like Feed, Reels, or Story, and a Media Type Filter for formats like Image, Video, or Carousel. You can also use the Year & Month Filter to narrow down specific periods. Explore more data visualization capabilities on Kondado.
What data sources power the charts in this report?
The report pulls from several tables including 'instagram_account_daily_insights' for profile-level metrics and date filters, 'instagram_profiles' for follower counts, 'instagram_media_insights' for Reels plays, likes, shares, and saves, and 'instagram_media_with_effective_url' for post-level performance data with images and captions.
Can I use my own Instagram data with this Looker Studio template?
Yes, after setting up the integration with Kondado, you can use your own data instead of the example dashboard. Follow the guide steps to connect your Instagram account and populate the report with your profile's metrics. You can also browse other report templates available on Kondado.
What is the Reach Funnel chart and how is it affected by filters?
The Reach Funnel chart displays the progression from Impressions to Reach to New Followers for your selected period. It is one of only two charts (along with Reach vs. New Followers) that responds to the Date Filter; other Overview metrics like total followers are not affected by date selection.
