Question - I tried to add a Tock link, but instead of taking me to a place where I could input an URL, when I clicked Tock, it took me to Tock, where I needed to log in, and then it wanted me to talk to my administrator - but I don't have one. Any ideas on what I did wrong? It's a reservation link for a show that I have, at a venue. So essentially, I'm a third party here.

Agreed. I think they're just being very careful to protect users. If you could have a button that linked somewhere without them being able to control where the link goes, people could use it to send people to viruses, inappropriate links, etc.

Hi when I am in the action button partner list, I cannot see my partner Open Table, how would I make them appear in this list? It is giving me other options but not Open Table? My profile is set in the restaurant category but it is listing 'booking' type partners not 'reserve' partners?
Hi Alexandra! They have been making a lot of changes to this feature and I don't see OpenTable either. It could be that OpenTable ended their partnership with Instagram. 😕
You can only use Action buttons from approved 3rd party sites, so it would be whatever platform your store is built on (if it's on the approved list from Instagram).

Hi Azriel! I think you can use multiple buttons - I'm sure there is a limit but I don't know what it is. And yes, you'd need an account for any of the services you want to use.
I believe what you're asking about is part of Instagram Shop - if you don't have that feature you don't get that button. Assuming your website is part of your profile it's already clickable, it's just not a button.

You can only set them up for pre-approved services like Eventbrite as mentioned in the video - Instagram won't let us just throw up any link. There are some other ways to share links on Instagram. I just did a video training showing 3 of them if you're interested: facebook.com/watch/?v=387843835112224 They aren't buttons though, just alternate ways to share links via Instagram.
Hey William! Action buttons are only on your profile, so I dont' think I said anything about a button in your feed. Can you tell me where in the video you are referring to?
@@mrjerrypotter You are right , it seems that viewers have to go back to the link in the profile instead of clicking directly on the picture. Can this happen however ?
No, they do this to prevent misleading links. If you have a business profile and have your phone number listed, the Call button should be automatically added to your profile!
Awesome stuff. I actually found out about action buttons a few weeks ago and start playing around with it. It's kind of weird for realtors because it doesn't have schedule an appointment. It has call me, email me and then I chose reservation which links to my Yelp cuz I was trying to build my Yelp profile up but I think I'm just going to put my website that I just had done there.
If you'd like to see an Instagram Action Button example, you can check out @seastarbellevue's Instagram. FYI, this only works in the IG app, the Action Buttons won't show up in browsers.
When you promote your post on Instagram, the first option is where you want to send people. Choices are to your Profile, your Website or Direct Messages. Choose Website and you can link it there!
It depends on how you are promoting. Action buttons are for specific 3rd party tools. If you are using one of those tools to promote your book it would work. The tools available depend on your location, so the best thing to do is try and add one and it will show you what's available. As far as book promotion, I'm not sure what you'd use, but there might be something in there. If you do events you can sell tickets (or give them away) through EventBrite. If you book interviews you there are calendar scheduling tools.
When you go add an Action Button, you have to be using one of the third-party programs listed. Instagram won't allow links to just anywhere because people could link to spam, viruses, etc.
@@mrjerrypotter I have my business profile on Instagram and with that my business fb page is linked.I want to add shop now button at bottom.Could you please help me with solution? I even tried using action buttons then it says my site is not supported for this feature.

No, unfortunately Action Buttons can only be from that list of approved 3rd party services. You can always ask people to DM you from your profile though.
I figured it out. The URL I was copying from the app wouldn’t work. Kept saying it was invalid. I opened Yelp in my browser and copied that URL and worked. I don’t use yelp for reservations, but I do book clients through yelp.
I see the profile - They have the main link in their bio, the Instagram Stories highlights under that, and the bottom row has Message/Call/Email/Directions under that. Are you talking about that bottom row? If so, those are standard on Instagram Business Profiles: th-cam.com/video/jdKHAX2_xFs/w-d-xo.html If that's not what you're talking about, let me know which one you're looking at and I'll try and help!
😕None of my accounts do either now. Maybe they are in the middle of moving it? I checked Instagram's official instructions and they still say it should be there: help.instagram.com/1419650861499317 I'd try back in a few days - It's amazing how often that works.
sir in this video you say a third party or partner is used to add an action button. Simply my question is that from where we get URL which is put to add action button on IG Thank you if you resolve this issue
Hey, unfortunately, Jerry Potter can’t get to all of the questions but if you still need an answer you’re welcome to post it in our free Facebook Community: facebook.com/groups/fiveminutesocialmedia/
Instagram only allows certain 3rd party software to be used as an Action Button. Otherwise you can just put your shopping link in your bio. You can also integrate shopping into your posts: facebook.com/business/instagram/shopping/guide FYI - Instagram takes a cut of your sales.
It's only 3rd party software that has an agreement with Facebook. You can contact Patreon and suggest they set it up? Otherwise you can put it as your main link on your profile.
Unfortunately no Nidhi. As you'd expect Instagram is going to be very protective of their users experience. Allowing someone to post any link with any label would mean people could link to inappropriate websites, viruses, etc., but label it whatever they wanted. That's why they restrict it to approved 3rd party programs too.

Wouldn't that be nice! It only works with approved 3rd party vendors. You could use your main link in your Instagram profile to link to whatever you want though.
Five Minute Social Media Thanks. I'm trying to drum up online nutrition meal plans and fitness split via online sales (for as low as $25). If I can just sell 4 meal plans or fitness training splits per day is my first goal.
Best of luck Allyn! If that's your main goal you might want to just put that link in your profile. That might be too aggressive though. Perhaps you could offer something in your main link to get someone to sign up for your email list, then a few emails in you could make the sales pitch? Another idea is to engage with people on Instagram, then when you feel like they are ready to buy you could DM them the link.
Thanks a lot for your show Please help me solve the problem It's when I try to post this url: script.google.com/macros/s/AKfycbyI97liixdMoWl83F5xebWijBoaE7v0YKUL8Ets/exec A red measage is displayed and says "the url is not supported for this featured "
It a link to an upload webpage which is created by me I want to create a link to that page so all of my contacts can click and upload files So is that possible in Instagram ?
It's not. It only works with 3rd party programs that have been approved by Instagram. They are listed in this article: marketingland.com/instagram-rolls-out-new-messaging-features-for-business-profiles-expands-action-buttons-to-more-third-party-apps-239698 You can put any link you want in your profile though!

Hey Danny - I'm not sure how to answer that. Most businesses don't use Action Buttons, it's not required.

You'd have to use your main profile link for that. Then you can point people to it at the end of your bio.
How To get " Get qoute " action button
how can you remove that action button
Can you add a option to direct message you from your profile
No, unfortunately Action Buttons can only be from that list of approved 3rd party services. You can always ask people to DM you from your profile though.
Kevin - It looks like they are adding this (or at least testing it). I don't have it yet, but I've seen it on some other profiles.
I am also experiencing such difficulty,,,,,,please makes video on it
I think you will have it by default if Instagram rolls it out to everyone. They haven't done that yet though.
When I try to connect it to my yelp account it says the url is invalid. Any ideas?
Do you use Yelp for Reservations? It's only for Yelp Reservations.
I figured it out. The URL I was copying from the app wouldn’t work. Kept saying it was invalid. I opened Yelp in my browser and copied that URL and worked. I don’t use yelp for reservations, but I do book clients through yelp.
Five Minute Social Media thanks for your response!
How are people adding "my services" buttons to their profile?
Can you give me an example of a profile that's using what you are talking about?
@@mrjerrypotter look up kurtrawlinsfitness - see the buttons they have?
I see the profile - They have the main link in their bio, the Instagram Stories highlights under that, and the bottom row has Message/Call/Email/Directions under that. Are you talking about that bottom row? If so, those are standard on Instagram Business Profiles: th-cam.com/video/jdKHAX2_xFs/w-d-xo.html
If that's not what you're talking about, let me know which one you're looking at and I'll try and help!
My business account doesn't have that option to add under contact options
😕None of my accounts do either now. Maybe they are in the middle of moving it? I checked Instagram's official instructions and they still say it should be there:
help.instagram.com/1419650861499317
I'd try back in a few days - It's amazing how often that works.
Sir how to use a third-party app to add action button and from where.
I watch many videos but can't understand
So guide me, please
Thank you
Hi Tehmina! I'm not sure what you're asking - this video shows how to add Action Buttons.
sir in this video you say a third party or partner is used to add an action button.
Simply my question is that from where we get URL which is put to add action button on IG
Thank you if you resolve this issue
I think I understand your question. It depends on what 3rd party tool you're using. Which tool are you trying to add an Action Button for?
@@mrjerrypotter swimwear products and tredscribe etc
Right, but what 3rd party tool are you using? A 3rd party tool is a tool from another company like Eventbrite or Resy or Calendly.
My ac have not open what will I do ?
Sometime in the last week Instagram seems to have taken them away. I'm hoping they'll bring it back - It might just be a bug they are working on.
How do I remove the action button?

what about "shop/buy" cta?
Instagram only allows certain 3rd party software to be used as an Action Button. Otherwise you can just put your shopping link in your bio.
You can also integrate shopping into your posts: facebook.com/business/instagram/shopping/guide
FYI - Instagram takes a cut of your sales.
It shows an error "Your website doesnt support this feature"
Only pre-approved 3rd part sites work with action buttons.
Won’t support my Patreon Page? Link? 🤔🤔 frustrating !
It's only 3rd party software that has an agreement with Facebook. You can contact Patreon and suggest they set it up?
Otherwise you can put it as your main link on your profile.
Five Minute Social Media - Jerry Potter I’ve just done that , thank you 👍
Awesome! That would be a great one to have.
Can i edit the name of default action button name?
Unfortunately no Nidhi. As you'd expect Instagram is going to be very protective of their users experience. Allowing someone to post any link with any label would mean people could link to inappropriate websites, viruses, etc., but label it whatever they wanted. That's why they restrict it to approved 3rd party programs too.
There's no business info or contact info /add action button.
Hi Galie - I'm not sure what you're asking. Can you re-phrase?
Have you converted your Instagram account to a Business Profile?
I want to sell my digital art - how do I do this?
Are you asking how to add an Action Button to a shopping page Marguerite?
@@mrjerrypotter obviously yes.
How to connect Facebook appointment booking into instagram
You can do it with an Action Button if you use one of their approved booking tools.
Why is Facebook not an approved booking tool on instagram?
Ha, great question! Seems like a no brainer, right? Maybe they'll add that at some point in the future.
Very nice. I need an action button so my customers can start paying subscription to get monthly coffee deliver to them. Thank you
How can I have WhatsApp, fb icons on my insta page
There's no way to connect them both - you could link to one of them using the one link in your profile though.
Thanks!
You're welcome!
Jerry! It would be great to make a video to explain the difference between
services which are in Instagram action buttons.
Thanks! I'll make a note of that.
🙏
😊
Hi Jerry, I do not have a "food order" on my "add an action button" list, how can I add?
Thanks in advance .. Jorge

How do you remove an action button?
If you edit your profile and go to the same place that you added the action button, it says “remove action button” in red letters at the bottom of the screen.
@@mrjerrypotter I am having trouble to see the remove action button in red and cannot remove the shop CTA. Help
Nice😍
Thanks 🤗

I need an action button to direct people to my CashApp
Wouldn't that be nice! It only works with approved 3rd party vendors. You could use your main link in your Instagram profile to link to whatever you want though.
Five Minute Social Media Thanks. I'm trying to drum up online nutrition meal plans and fitness split via online sales (for as low as $25). If I can just sell 4 meal plans or fitness training splits per day is my first goal.
Best of luck Allyn! If that's your main goal you might want to just put that link in your profile.
That might be too aggressive though. Perhaps you could offer something in your main link to get someone to sign up for your email list, then a few emails in you could make the sales pitch?
Another idea is to engage with people on Instagram, then when you feel like they are ready to buy you could DM them the link.
dude blink please
Lol, my wife says the same thing. I record each section and edit them together so the blinking happens in between takes.
Messenger and WhatsApp bottom
Thanks a lot for your show
Please help me solve the problem
It's when I try to post this url: script.google.com/macros/s/AKfycbyI97liixdMoWl83F5xebWijBoaE7v0YKUL8Ets/exec
A red measage is displayed and says "the url is not supported for this featured "
What is that link to? You can only add links to accepted 3rd party programs.
It a link to an upload webpage which is created by me
I want to create a link to that page so all of my contacts can click and upload files
So is that possible in Instagram ?
It's not. It only works with 3rd party programs that have been approved by Instagram. They are listed in this article:
marketingland.com/instagram-rolls-out-new-messaging-features-for-business-profiles-expands-action-buttons-to-more-third-party-apps-239698
You can put any link you want in your profile though!
