Yup so…. Tagged like the card says and I get an auto reply that basically says “don’t tag us??? So anyone know what’s up with that.
Hey Josh,
Thanks for letting us know, we weren’t aware of this. I’ll get this along to the right people in creative to fix it, we want people tagging us in their projects!
Cheers!
Hay jaryd, thanks for replying, this is a screen shot of the auto response, it could be that I’m tagging in the wrong way, or with the wrong @ or #.

nothings changed.
It seems your workflow in Instagram results in us being invited as a collaborator on each of your posts. This is not a normal outcome for @tagging or #hastagging
We have that automatic reply setup as we get approached -a lot- for project support via direct message. And there is far more spam than genuine messages. We don’t have a sustainable way to parse the spam or offer 1:1 project support, so we use Metas automatic reply tool in an effort to redirect people to the preferred channel (the forum in the case of project support, as it aligns with our open education efforts).
Coming back to this; it might be worth exploring your workflow as I can see that other businesses on each of your posts are being invited to collaborate and your invitations remain pending, which is unusual.
So how do I tag you in the appropriate way, or just don’t ?

I found this on Instagram:
When you tag someone on Instagram while creating a post or reel, and you choose the option to “Invite Collaborator,” this action sends them a notification inviting them to collaborate on the post, meaning the content will appear on both your profile and theirs once they accept the invitation; essentially, tagging in this way initiates a collaboration request.
You are likely taking that pathway, which seems to trigger an automatic reply on our side intended to help redirect people to the best pathway for support.
Should be all systems GO to @tag as normal, thanks for sharing your projects!
