The Instagram Feed Block – Fastory

The Instagram Feed Block displays your latest Instagram posts directly in your Fanzone. Your fans discover your social content without leaving the page and can join your profile in one click.

What is it for?

Your Instagram account is often your most active channel. This Block brings that content into your Fanzone: your recent posts appear in a visual carousel that is always up to date.

It is a great way to bring your Fanzone to life with no extra production effort, and to turn your visitors into Instagram followers.

Access the Block

Open your Fanzone in the back office.

Click Add a Block.

Select Instagram.

Main features

Connect your Instagram account

The Block needs an Instagram account connected to your workspace. If no account is linked, the editor displays a message: connect your Instagram account from the Fanzone settings, in the Connections tab.

Once the account is connected, your posts are retrieved automatically and appear in the Media section of the editor.

Refresh your posts

Your latest posts are loaded when the account is connected. To fetch your most recent posts at any time, click the Refresh button below the media preview.

The button to your profile

The Block can display a button below the carousel that opens your Instagram profile in a new tab. In the Button section, you can:

choose an icon or an emoji;

enter the button label;

show or hide the button with the Show and Hide actions.

Adjust the style

In the style settings:

Size: Small, Medium or Large, to control how many posts are visible on screen;

Ratio: the display format of the thumbnails, for example 1:1, 9:16, 16:9 or 4:3.

Fan-side behavior

In the Fanzone, the Block displays your most recent posts, up to 6, in a carousel with navigation arrows.

Clicking a post opens the original post on Instagram, in a new tab.

Videos and albums are marked with a small icon on the thumbnail.

If the posts cannot be loaded, the Block hides itself automatically to avoid showing an empty area.

Best practices

Click Refresh after an important post so it appears in your Fanzone right away.

Choose a ratio that matches your content: 1:1 for a classic feed, 9:16 if you mostly publish Reels.

Keep the button visible with an engaging label, for example "Follow us on Instagram", to turn your visitors into followers.

Concrete use cases

If you want to energize your Fanzone on matchdays, rely on your feed

Your pre-match photos and lineup announcements published on Instagram appear in the Fanzone: the day's content updates with no extra work.

If you want to grow your Instagram audience, place the Block at the top of the page

Position the Instagram Feed Block in the upper part of your Fanzone with the button visible: every visitor becomes a potential follower.
