How it works
Whenever your email campaign is sent, the latest Instagram posts in your feed at that moment are pulled and added to your email.
If you make changes to your widget previously sent emails will not be updated, but your changes will be included in future sends.
1. Create your feed in Behold
This guide assumes that you’ve already created a free account and connected a source.
- Go to the feeds page and click
Add Feed. - Choose either
UserorHashtag - Select a source for your feed
- When asked what kind of output you want, select
Klaviyo - Pick a name for your feed, click
Create feed, and you’re all set!
2. Customize your feed
Now that you’ve created a feed, there are a number of customization options.
Other than filters, these options can be applied separately to Desktop and Mobile versions of your email, or linked to show the same style on all devices.
Settings: Filter
Allowed post types
This setting lets you choose which post types to include in your feed, from among images, videos , reels and albums.
Caption must include
Only posts that contain at least one of the text snippets you add here will be included in your feed. This is case-sensitive and can include spaces.
Caption may not include
Only posts that do not contain any of the text snippets you add here will be included in your feed. This is case-sensitive and can include spaces.
Hashtag feeds can take a few minutes to preload when combined with this setting.
Show off-feed reels
When this option is turned ON all reels will be included in this feed.
When this option is turned OFF, only reels that are shared to your main grid will be included. This excludes trial reels.
