Integration of resmio on Instagram
Launched as a channel for inspirational content, Instagram has increasingly opened up to transactional campaigns in the past with the introduction of the “Action Button” and the ability to share links in stories, among other things.
Use Instagram’s “Story” feature to lead guests directly to your resmio reservation form and digital menu. The feature is available to all accounts since October 2021.
1. The Story feature is a simple and effective way to increase your online reservations and orders. You need the Instagram app (not available on PC / laptop) and an authorised business account.
We guide you step by step through the integration:
- Launch the Instagram app on your smartphone (iOS / Android) and switch from your private profile to your restaurant account if necessary.
- Tap the “+” icon in the top right-hand corner
- Select the “Story” post format
2. Here comes the creative part: First decide on a design of your choice for your story, e.g. a photo of the current menu or the restaurant environment.
- Tap open on the “Sticker” icon.
- Type “Link” in the search field and / or select it from the list of available stickers.
3. Add the link to your online reservation widget or digital menu. You can use the preview to check whether the link works properly.
A sample of the integration link (reservations):
https://app.resmio.com/the-fish/widget
A sample of the integration link (digital menu):
https://app.resmio.com/the-fish/menu-widget
(the restaurant ID “the-fish” marked in bold here matches your own restaurant ID in your resmio account). See also “Where do I find my Partner-ID?”
If you wish, you can add a descriptive label for the link, e.g. “Online reservation” or “Reserve now”.
Once everything fits, tap on “Done”.
4. Place the sticker anywhere in your story and publish it.
Now your guests can make reservations directly via the link in your story or order from your digital menu.
