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.Input the Instagram profile URL that you're interested in following
In this section, you will need to copy the profile URL of the Instagram account whose followers you are interested in following, and paste it into your Phantom's setup.
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.
Choose which profiles you would like to avoid following
This Phantom will follow the entire list of Instagram profiles on your behalf.
You can choose to curate which types of profiles it follows, by choosing to:
exclude private profiles
only follow profiles with your chosen minimum number of followers
only follow profiles with your chosen minimum number of posts
In the case of private profiles who do not accept your follow request, you can also choose to not attempt to follow these profiles again by selecting the "Process follower profiles only once" option.
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."
