Introduction

Understand which operators to use to categorize Instagram posts in your research 

The collection and categorization features differ for Instagram compared to other network operators (Facebook, YouTube, Twitter...). Learn more about the operators in the guide.

 

Instagram Classifier 

The network operators for Instagram function as a post classifier when inserted into the Search Configuration. However, this feature changes under a specific scenario: if a profile is collected through the Influencer Hub*, the Instagram operator mentioning that profile brings related posts. 

This means that the Instagram operator doesn't perform the collection, but can facilitate it, only in this case. Therefore, we can define the action of the operators as follows:

  • Other network operators: when inserting the descriptor in any search field, the profile is collected. 
  • Only for the Instagram operator: only if the influencer has already been collected in the search (either through the Influencer Hub, Business Discovery, or through hashtags), the profile is organized.

 

 How to use?

Operators are inserted within the groups and themes in your Search Configuration. See below the main features of each operator.

To access this area, you can click on "Edit Search":
