Instagram followers: Additional field

Answered
Obulakshmi Venkatesan User

Hi, 

We have a request to add a column to the import of USER_INSIGHTS table in Instagram business connector. There is a metric name called 'FollowerS_count' in the Instagram GraphAPI which pulls the total followers on that particular date from the Instagram pages.  This column is not available in Fivetran.  The column available here is 'Follower_count' which shows the number of followers gained on a particular date vs previous date.  It doesn't seem to match the other column.  

Actually, we want to know the total number of followers on a particular date and not the difference in the followers between a particular day and its previous day.

So, is it possible to add the column 'Followers_count' in USER_INSIGHTS table to pull the total followers on a particular day from the Instagram page ?

Hope my request is clear to you and we are looking forward to your support here.

 

Thank you !

    Hi Obulakshmi and Tien, Drew from the Product Team here!

    Thanks for sharing this request. Just so I'm clear on what is being asked: You are looking for additional data in the Instagram Business connector, specifically the current follower count. Are there other overall metrics that would be helpful to either of you? Are there other scenarios where the data in the connector is not matching the expected values?

    We have had several requests related to this, so I'd like to prioritize it. Marking as answered for now, but will consider it for our upcoming quarter.

    I'd like to second that request. It's an important metric in term of brand footprint.
