Show Your Instagram Profile Header
Alongside your post grid, Drip Socials can display a profile header that mirrors your Instagram profile — complete with your picture, stats, and a Follow button. It's a great way to encourage shoppers to follow you.
What the Header Includes
When enabled, the profile header shows:
- Your profile picture
- Your display name and @username
- Your post count (labeled "Posts")
- Your follower count (labeled "Followers")
- Your following count (labeled "Following")
- A Follow button that links directly to your Instagram profile
Turn the Header On or Off
Each feed has a profile visibility setting:
- Visible — the full profile header appears above the gallery.
- Not visible — only the post grid is shown (this is the default).
Set It Up
Where the Data Comes From
The header uses the profile details Drip Socials fetched when you connected Instagram — your picture, name, username, and follower/following counts. These are updated on each scheduled refresh, so the numbers stay reasonably current. If a profile picture isn't available, a placeholder image is used.
The Follow Button
The Follow button links to your Instagram profile and opens in a new tab, giving shoppers a one-click path to follow you without leaving your store behind.
Tips
- Pair the profile header with a "Do nothing" click behavior if you want the Follow button to be the main call to action.
- If stats look outdated, they'll update on the next scheduled refresh; reconnecting Instagram forces an immediate update.
