Connect to Instagram using PhantomBuster's browser extension
This automation will act on your behalf on Instagram. The safest and most efficient way for the Phantom to connect to your account is by using your session cookie, which you can retrieve using PhantomBuster's browser extension. It's a simple 2-click installation:
If you're operating from another browser, you can find your cookie manually.
Note:
Every time you log into Instagram, a new cookie is created for that "session," so you must be logged in (and stay logged in) on your browser to provide a working cookie.Give URLs of the Instagram profiles you're interested in
You have two options:
1. Process a single profile
Copy the Instagram profile URL and paste it into your Phantom's setup.2. Process multiple profiles
Create a spreadsheet with Google Sheets. Copy the Instagram profile URLs and paste them into your spreadsheet - one URL per row, all in column A.Make this spreadsheet public so PhantomBuster can access it.
Copy the spreadsheet URL and paste it into your Phantom's setup.
Choose to follow, unfollow, or block the profiles
This Phantom will perform 1 of 5 actions on your behalf:
Follow
Unfollow
Unfollow only if they don't follow you
Block
Unblock
If you would like to follow and later unfollow the same profiles, for example, you should duplicate the Phantom and use one for each action, providing the same list of profiles as input.
Specify the number of profiles to process per launch
Choose how many profiles you want this automation to process each time it runs. This helps you control your usage and stay within platform limits.
Set the Phantom on repeat
Automation always produces better results in the long run. Set the Phantom to launch repeatedly and get results while you're away!
This Phantom runs from the cloud, which means you don't even need to have your browser open or computer on for these launches to happen.For more automatic launch options, click on the three little dots in the top right and "Show advanced settings."
