More about Gatsby Story Tracking:

  • 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
