The power of Instagram Story Camera Engagement
Instagram users have a tendency to publish a lot of content, it is a very interactive platform that focuses on the involvement of followers and users.
The platform’s biggest strength is the Instagram Story Camera.

With this procedure of slow user loyalty you can aim to increase your traffic and consequently the visits, visibility and the possibility of conversion.

Precisely for this reason, to further improve your possibilities during your digital marketing campaigns it is important to be able to make the most of the Instagram Story Camera.
One of the latest news from Joturl is a new feature that has the aim of combining the potential of the Deep Link with that of the Instagram Story Camera.
To further improve engagement with your users and create uniquely personalized campaigns, you can rely on the power of Instagram Story Camera Deep Links and redirect your users within their Instagram Camera.
This strategy has an infinite number of benefits.
Let’s take an example:
Your users have just viewed a product page, service or content.
After viewing it they find a CTA button that can send them back to their Instagram room.
By clicking the Deep Link contained in the CTA Button, your users will find themselves directly in the Instagram App, in their Instagram Stories Camera ready to leave any comments, mentions or to mention your product in their stories.
“I just saw Joturl’s new video, it was great”
They could embellish this text with Gifs, Templates, or even decide to create a short video using an online video editor.
The Instagram Story Deep Link clearly opens up many avenues for any type of brand – large or small.
Instagram is a super interactive, young platform, with a fluid mechanism designed to share its contents. Instagram itself encourages users to create new material, and with this system you could significantly increase your visibility, leveraging on Instagram’s strength.
How to create an Instagram Story Camera Deep Link
Here’s how to create a Deep Link Instagram Story Camera.
First, enter the Joturl dashboard and create a new Tracking Link, you can do this by pressing the easily locatable (+) button.
Enter your Destination URL
Enter your branded domain, it’s very important that the domain is branded.
Why? First of all to give an identity to your link. Using branded domains increases link trust and consequently CTR and your views.
Secondly, branded domains are highly appreciated, especially by social platforms such as Facebook, Google and Instagram.
If you use your own branded domain you will avoid being banned from the platforms. Using shortener that do not allow the use of branded domains is very risky. If many different people use the same domain, it will be difficult to recognize the destination of the URL at a glance.
Moreover, if these domains are not restrictive and careful they could allow the use of prohibited or dangerous content, launching users on sites or landing pages created to harm others – there are many types of viruses and malware that could be transmitted using shortened links.
Recognizing a secure link from an unsafe one becomes very difficult at this point, so platforms can often ban links created with the service domains you rely on. Joturl does not allow the inclusion of harmful or prohibited content within its links, it also promotes the use of your personal domains.
Enter your alias, which can give the look you want to your link, interfacing with your branded domain in order to create the effect you want most to attract the interest of followers and users!
Once you have entered any notes and tags you can click on the “Save and Go to Options” button.

Here too the possibilities are endless, you can get the most out of your Instagram campaigns!
Here’s how to add a Filter to an Instagram Stories Camera Deep Link

Go to the official Instagram page on Instagram platform ( so you’re sure to find amazing filters) And click the icon relating to the filters for the Room.
Warning: this icon is visible only if a camera on the device is detected, so it is not possible to perform this procedure from the desktop – only from mobile.
Once in the collection of filters, choose the one you like more or the one that suits you best.
In addition to the preview of the filter you can also try it out. To get the URL of the filter on Instagram it is essential that you click the “Try” button.
As you can see, once you click the test button, you will be redirected to your Instagram Story Camera and you can see the effect of the chosen filter in real time.
Click on the name of the filter – it is the white writing located under the photocamera button.
Then at this point click on “Other”, the button with the three dots icon.
Choose the “Share effect link” option to get the URL of the filter.
At this point, just copy the URL and then use it within your Instagram Story Camera Deep Link.
You are free to use all the filters accepted by the Instagram platform, moreover this feature could be suitable to accommodate your personal filters, if you have any, to push the sponsorship of your business.
The procedure at this point returns to being that for creating an Instagram Story Camera Deep Link.

At this point, unlike the first link in the article, you need to make sure you check the correct destination URL.
In this case, you will not have to redirect the user to “instagram: // story-camera”
But on the first link -> instagram: // story-camera? Effect_id = 123456789
In this way, the user will be redirected equally within his Instagram Story Camera, and can also directly use the filter you have associated with this Deep Link.
Last procedure? Save your Instagram Story Camera Deep Link and get ready to share it.
