These functions will be very useful for businesses
The crisis generated by the Coronavirus COVID19 is affecting many aspects of our lives. Not only is a large part of the world's population confined to their homes, but most businesses are closed.
This has meant that many businesses have tried to reinvent themselves to continue with their activities. Instagram knows that many businesses are present on its network and, therefore, they have enabled a series of new functions to help them in this process of reinventing themselves.
These new features to deal with COVID-19 are action buttons on account profiles
The new features are available for businesses, stores, etc., who have their account set up as a business account or creator accounts. And there are a total of three Action Buttons for business profiles.
If your account can use these new buttons, this notice will appear
These three new action buttons are Gift Cards, Order food delivery and Donation . Very varied buttons that, except for ordering food at home, allow many businesses to use them.
The gift card button allows us to select, for the moment, three platforms in which gift cards can be created.For its part, with the option to order food at home we can choose between Deliveroo and Uber Eats as services. Finally, Donation gives us the possibility to add the donation link of Facebook so that customers can donate money to a cause or business.
Section of the buttons that we want
If you want to activate any of these buttons in your profile, all you have to do is follow a few simple steps. You have to access your profile and select Edit profile. If you meet the requirements, under Profile Information you will see the Action Buttons option. From there you can select which one you want to add to your profile.
Of course this is a very good initiative by Instagram and we hope they add more buttons of this type so that more businesses can use them.
