Track Instagram reel views in Google Sheets

Campaign reporting on delivered posts.

Short answer

Paste the deliverable links in a column, select them and run Extensions โ†’ Zaver.one โ†’ Post Analytics. Seven columns land beside the links: Posted By, Type, Likes, Comments, Plays, Views and Caption. Re-run after the six-hour cache to refresh. For a refresh that runs itself every morning, use Radar's Post metrics โ†’ Google Sheet tool on a schedule.
