Hii,

You do not need to set up anything in analytics for Instagram traffic you just need to follow below steps 

-open analytics dashboard

-click on acquisition

-click on all traffic and then on source/medium

-type Instagram in the search bar and you will get all Instagram traffic data

The second way to search for traffic-

-click on acquisition

-click on social and then overview

Here you can get Instagram traffic data too.

Thanks

No instagram traffic at all even I click my website in IG. Also, I have
used the utm code

However, it still has no traffic from instagram in my report.

Hii,

There could be three reasons behind this-

1-I think you have blocked your IP that's why you are not getting traffic when you click on your bio.

2-There must be not enough users means no user clicks on your Instagram bio link.

3-check your date change.

i have checked item 3, which i select today but no instgram traffic at all.

For item 1&2, i just tried to click the link in IG bio and i checked against google analytics which is displaying there is 1 mobile user in current session. However, i get no instagram traffic in acquisitions page.

Hii,

I have checked your queries again found that you are getting data in real-time so just wait for some time it will reflect in the acquisition.

thanks

Thanks for your prompt reply. However, I found the real time data did not indicate from Instagram. It is showing as Direct source.

I am using "https://www.lifsty.com/?utm_source=instagram&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=bio".

Hii,

I have checked from my end it's not an issue because data is fetching automatically. But I wanna tell you one thing that there is a delay for few seconds in fetching data in real-time, so after clicking on bio link stay for some time and then it must be reflected. If still you have any issue, you can contact me. Details you can find in my signature.

It has been resolved.
