# Instagram Trend Watching Agent Template | FlyMy.AI > Build an Instagram trend watching agent that compares public posts, tracks growth across snapshots and sends a source-linked report to Sheets or Telegram. Page: https://flymy.ai/agents/templates/instagram-trend-watcher/ Agent template / Instagram Trend Watcher # Watch Instagram trends. Find your next idea. An agent template for watching public Instagram creators, finding posts that outperform their usual baseline, and turning the evidence into a report your team can use. [>_ Use this template](https://flymy.ai/agents/templates/instagram-trend-watcher/#start) [[ How it works ]](https://flymy.ai/agents/templates/instagram-trend-watcher/#workflow) 0% template markup. Agent and tool usage billed separately. Public Instagram data, Sheets + Telegram, Your accounts and budget **$ WORKFLOW** YOUR INPUTS → SOURCE EVIDENCE → YOUR OUTPUT 01 / COLLECT ### Collect Read the public profiles and recent posts you choose. Keep post links, timestamps and the metrics actually returned. 02 / COMPARE ### Compare Rank outliers against each creator's baseline. Compare saved snapshots to measure growth over time. 03 / REPORT ### Report Write the evidence to your own Google Sheet and send a concise digest to a Telegram destination you approve. ## What you can do. A practical starting point. Adapt the scope to your work, connect your own tools and keep the source behind each result. ### Less scrolling, more evidence Follow a defined list of creators and a time window. Keep the original post URL next to every observation so a teammate can check the source. ### A baseline for every creator Compare like with like. A small account's standout post should not disappear under a larger account's raw view count. ### Growth needs two observations Store observation times and compare the same post across runs. A single snapshot shows engagement, not measured growth velocity. ### A report you can act on Separate the observed pattern from a creative hypothesis. Use the report as research input for the next content experiment. ## Inputs in. Useful work out. Know what the workflow needs and what it returns before spending your first run. **You provide** Public creator usernames, observation window, metric to compare, page/request limit and maximum run budget. **Connect** Instagram Public Data; Google Sheets for saved snapshots; Telegram for an optional digest. Connect your own accounts. **You receive** A source-linked table of posts, observation times, baseline comparisons and an optional Telegram summary. **Run it again** Run manually first. Add a schedule only after you verify the output and choose a cadence and budget. ILLUSTRATIVE EXAMPLE / NOT A LIVE RESULT ``` creator: @example_creator post_url: observed_at: plays: baseline: growth: interpretation: ``` **0%** extra markup for the template ## Pay for the work it runs. There is no purchase fee or extra markup for using this template. Agent tokens, tools and storage/runtime usage follow the published rates. Instagram Public Data on the shared connection costs $0.01 per billed request. Pagination and repeated snapshots create additional requests. [See usage pricing →](https://flymy.ai/pricing/) ## Before you start. Scope, connections and expectations, made explicit. **Is this a working project or just an idea?** You can inspect the existing public community project below, or use the downloadable brief to build your own version. The public project is a reference; copying and running requires your own connections, inputs and budget. **Does it predict what will go viral?** No. It identifies observed outliers and changes in public metrics. A pattern or creative hypothesis is not a prediction of future reach. **Can it read private Instagram accounts?** This workflow uses public Instagram data. It does not unlock private profiles, private messages or another person's analytics. **Will it send messages automatically?** The brief asks for the destination and sending permission first. Start with a draft report; enable delivery and scheduling only when you choose. $ YOUR NEXT RUN ## Start with a clear brief. Connect FlyMy.AI to your assistant using [skill.md](https://flymy.ai/skill.md), then paste this request. You can also open a new agent in the app and paste the [full starter brief](https://flymy.ai/agents/templates/instagram-trend-watcher/template.txt). Setup may ask you to connect tools; this page does not run or schedule anything. ``` Read https://flymy.ai/agents/templates/instagram-trend-watcher/template.txt and help me set up Instagram Trend Watcher using my own connections. Ask for the missing inputs and budget before running it. ``` [Open FlyMy.AI](https://app.flymy.ai/new-agent) [Download brief](https://flymy.ai/agents/templates/instagram-trend-watcher/template.txt) ## Go to the source.
