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 the image / video be unavailable for you to preview once it expires after 24 hours. However, there will always be a log of who tagged in you a story, when they published it, and how many followers they had at the time of the Story.

  • 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.
