2026-08-06 — Breakdown & Metric addition

Collaboration posts are now reportable, identified by the Is Collaboration Post field. Instagram collaboration posts — posts published jointly with another account — are now included in the connector’s post data. The new Is Collaboration Post field marks them, and works as either a breakdown or a metric, so collaboration posts can be isolated from the rest of the post set on a widget. A defined subset of post fields is populated for these posts. Used on its own, the breakdown collapses the whole post set into two rows, so either of these setups is a better starting point:
  • Pair it with the Post breakdown, in either order — Post then Is Collaboration Post, or Is Collaboration Post then Post. Each post appears as its own row, labelled with its collaboration status.
  • Filter instead of breaking down. Set a filter of Is Collaboration Post equal to true to drop non-collaboration posts from the report entirely.
Fields available on a collaboration post:
Post Total Views (Delta) and Post Total Views (Lifetime) always return 0 for a collaboration post that is not a reel.

2026-07-23 — Metric additions

Twelve new post metrics split comments, likes, and views into total and ads-only figures. Post comments, likes, and views were previously reported as a single organic figure per post. Each now has two additional variants: a Total metric covering organic and ads activity together, and an Ads metric covering the ads-driven portion on its own. Both variants exist in the Delta (daily change) and Lifetime (cumulative) forms already used by the existing post metrics. The original metrics are unchanged and continue to report organic-only figures.
Total Views is not fetched for stories, so Post Total Views (Delta) and Post Total Views (Lifetime) return no value on story content. Story performance is reported through the dedicated story metrics — Story Replies (Delta), for example — rather than through the post metrics.
Delta metrics on Instagram Organic can occasionally come back negative after Meta recalculates a lifetime counter; see FAQs for why. For the full post-level field list, see Data reference.
