Send For Auth lets you make an Instagram widget for a client or another person. You send them a link. They sign in with their own Instagram account, and the widget then shows their posts. You do not need their password.

​
What you need

  • A paid plan (Lite, Pro or Developer). Every paid plan starts with a 14-day free trial.
  • A Pro Instagram widget.
  • The other person needs a creator or business Instagram account. They do not need a SnapWidget account.
