Learn how to integrate Gatsby with your Omnisend account

Written by Sarunas

Gatsby helps you collect Instagram handles from your customers and provides insights on them to help you grow your ambassador and micro-influencer programs. The integration with Omnisend syncs your data from Gatsby, like Instagram and influencer data, into Omnisend for automated workflows. Together, Gatsby + Omnisend unlock new growth channels for fully automated micro-influencer marketing with your customers.

What Data Is Synced to Omnisend?

Gatsby will pass your customers' Instagram data:

  • Instagram_Bio_Gatsby - customer's biography (account description).

  • Instagram_Followers_Gatsby - number of followers

  • Instagram_Follows_Gatsby - number of accounts the customer follows

  • Instagram_Handle_Gatsby - Instagram profile name

  • Instagram_Posts_Gatsby - number of posts in the customer's Instagram account

Note: Contacts collected before the integration will not be synced. Only contacts collected after the integration sync.

What Custom Events Are Passed?

The integration passed the event: Mentioned You Event. This event will be triggered for the email address associated with a particular Instagram account when they mention your company's Instagram in a post, either by tagging your brand in the picture or @mentioning your brand in the caption.

Event properties:

This event can be used to create an automation.

Trigger Welcome Emails for Gatsby Customers

To send automated emails once a customer from Gatsby is passed, you need to create a segment based on one of the properties that Gatsby passes along with the email address. In your segment, use the following filter:

  • Instagrams_Followers_Gatsby exists

Then, create an automation based on the 'Entered segment' trigger and select the Gatsby segment that you created.

Use Cases

Send different emails to customers with different amounts of Instagram followers. For example, you can create a segment of the contacts that have more than 1000 followers, but less than 10000, and send them an email campaign with a discount offer if they mention you on their next Instagram post.

Once they mention you on Instagram, the "Mentioned You Event" will be triggered, and an email from the workflow will be sent.

FAQ

Will mentioning in the story trigger the Mentioned You Event?

No, the Mentioned You Event will be triggered by mentions in captions in posts or tags in posts.

Will contacts collected before the integration was enabled be synced to Omnisend?

No, they won't be synced to Omnisend after integration is enabled.
