Log into that test Instagram account and @mention your brand in a Story

Scroll down in the Data tab to the Media table, and see that your Story shows up
More about Gatsby Story Tracking:
- The mention event will be time-stamped and tracked in your Gatsby account indefinitely.
Caution: Per Instagram's policies, we are unable to save the Story media, and it will be unavailable for you to preview once it expires after 24 hours.

- Mention events will sync with your customer's record in Klaviyo, Omnisend, Sailthru, Gorgias, etc, and create a "Mentioned You" event that you can use in your Segments and Flows.
- To save the story content and for deeper story analytics, your influencers will need to have a Creator account in Instagram
