Guides for Instagram automation

These guides walk through the practical side of turning Instagram attention into conversations, leads, and sales with Shre. Each one is written to be actionable, so you can read it and set something up the same day. Everything runs on the official Instagram Graph API, and Shre never logs into your account.

Guides by goal, not by feature

We organise around what you are trying to achieve rather than around buttons, because the same feature serves many goals. A single keyword automation can send a link, book a call, or start a lead capture, depending on the offer and the follow up you pair with it. That is why we suggest reading a goal, not a feature, and then wiring up the smallest version that delivers value. Once one automation is live and working, layering on story replies, a storefront, and email follow up is quick, because the hardest part, connecting your account and picking a first keyword, is already done. If you are comparing tools first, the compare hub lays out the criteria that matter, and the tools comparison puts them side by side. When you are ready, try the free 7 day trial with no card and put a guide into practice.
