Grow Instagram Profiles with Automated Engagement

Create ReachOwl profile growth tasks to automatically react to and repost Instagram content from hashtags, growing your follower base.

ReachOwl profile growth tasks help you grow your Instagram presence by automatically engaging with posts from hashtags. This guide covers creating a growth task, updating its schedule, pausing and resuming, and reviewing results.

1. Create a profile growth task

   Send a POST request to set up a new task targeting a hashtag. You can enable reactions, reposts, or both.

   Request

   curl -X POST "{{baseUrl}}/api/v1/profile-growth" \
     -H "Authorization: Bearer {token}" \
     -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
     -d '{
       "name": "Daily Hashtag Growth",
       "team_id": 3,
       "type": "instagram",
       "source_type": "post_hashtag",
       "post_url": "digitalmarketing",
       "executor_ids": [101],
       "engage_react": true,
       "engage_repost": false,
       "limit": 15,
       "status": "running"
     }'
   

   Profile growth uses string statuses: “running”, “paused”, “draft”, or “completed”.

2. Update the schedule

   Add or update the timezone and daily window when the task is allowed to run.

   Request

   curl -X PATCH "{{baseUrl}}/api/v1/profile-growth/55" \
     -H "Authorization: Bearer {token}" \
     -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
     -d '{
       "timezone": "America/New_York",
       "schedule": [
         {"day": "monday", "start": "09:00", "end": "17:00"},
         {"day": "tuesday", "start": "09:00", "end": "17:00"}
       ]
     }'
   
3. Pause or resume

   Update the status field to pause or restart the task.

   Pause

   curl -X PATCH "{{baseUrl}}/api/v1/profile-growth/55" \
     -H "Authorization: Bearer {token}" \
     -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
     -d '{"status": "paused"}'
   
4. View results

   Retrieve the task and its engagement history by adding the include_posts query parameter.

   Request

   curl -X GET "{{baseUrl}}/api/v1/profile-growth/55?include_posts=1" \
     -H "Authorization: Bearer {token}"
