# Instagram

Amondo let's you collect content from Instagram and add posts, Reels and Stories directly into your [Collections](/getting-started/core-platform-concepts/collections.md), where they can be used across any connected Imprint. Instagram content is collected via a [hashtag search](#search), or through a [connected Instagram Business account](/platform-guides/collect/connect-instagram-business.md). 

### What you can do with Instagram content

* Add posts, Reels and Stories from your connected Instagram Business account
