Is there a native app or plugin available in Webflow for embedding Instagram feeds above the footer of a website, without having to rely on third-party tools?
TL;DR
- Webflow lacks native Instagram feed integration, so use services like Elfsight or SnapWidget.
- Add their embed code into an Embed element placed above your footer and publish the site.
Webflow does not currently offer a native app or plugin to embed Instagram feeds directly above the footer or anywhere else on a website. Embedded Instagram feeds require third-party tools or manual embed code.
1. No Native Instagram Feed Integration
- Webflow does not support native Instagram feed embedding as part of its core components, CMS, or integrations.
- Instagram deprecated its old unauthenticated APIs, making direct client-side embedding via Webflow impossible without OAuth and server-side handling.
2. Workarounds Using Embed and 3rd-Party Tools
If you still want an Instagram feed above your footer, these are your main options:
- Use an Embed from Instagram: You can manually embed individual posts using Instagram's Embed option.
- Use third-party Instagram feed services like:
- Elfsight
- SnapWidget
- Tagembed
- Flockler
- These tools typically offer:
- Customizable design
- Responsive layouts
- Embed codes (usually via
<iframe>or Javascript snippet)
3. Placement Above Footer
- Drag an Embed element in Webflow to the section above your Footer.
- Paste the embed code given by the third-party service.
- Publish the site to see it live.
Summary
Webflow does not have a native Instagram feed plugin, so you’ll need to rely on third-party platforms like Elfsight or SnapWidget. Once you have the embed code, paste it into an Embed element placed right above your Footer section.
